About Converting Metric tons per Imperial gallon to Pounds per Cubic yard
Metric ton per Imperial gallon and Pound per Cubic yard both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
pounds per cubic yard = metric tons per imperial gallon × 370770.252141
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 metric ton per imperial gallon equals 219969.248299 base units, and 1 pound per cubic yard equals 0.593276421258 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct metric ton per imperial gallon-to-pound per cubic yard factor of 370770.252141.
Simple example
1 t/imp gal × 370770.2521 = 370,770.2521 lb/yd3
1 metric ton per imperial gallon = 370,770.2521 pounds per cubic yard.
Real-world example
1,000 t/imp gal × 370770.2521 = 370,770,252.1 lb/yd3
1,000 metric tons per imperial gallon = 370,770,252.1 pounds per cubic yard.

What is a metric ton per imperial gallon?
Metric ton per Imperial gallon (t/imp gal) is a unit of density.
What is a pound per cubic yard?
Pound per Cubic yard (lb/yd3) is a unit of density.
Is the metric ton per imperial gallon to pound per cubic yard conversion exact?
Yes. Both metric ton per imperial gallon and pound per cubic yard are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 370770.2521 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
