How many tons are in 800 cubic yards?

Yards is a linear measure you can't calculate how much it weighs ... that's like asking 'How much does one mile weigh'. Some times "yard" is used to mean "Cubic Yard" but even then we would need to know what MATERIAL you want to calculate.


How many cubic yards in a ton?

Cubic yard is a measure of volume. Ton is a measure of weight. How many cubic yards in a ton is going to depend entirely upon the item in question. A ton of feathers will have many more cubic yards than a ton of gravel or dirt.If you want to apply the density yourself, it's easiest to convert all to the metric. Ton means short ton in the figures below. This equates to 907.2 kilos. 1 cubic yard is 0.764555 metres cubed, which equals 764.555 litres. These should help in applying a density that you may find.Having said that, here are some yards per ton conversion for materials you might care about:Lava Rock (all) = .5 tons (1000 lbs.) per cubic yardEastern Sunrise = .9 tons (1800 lbs.) per cubic yardCrimson = 1.1 tons (2200 lbs.) per cubic yardLime Rock (57 & 89) = 1.2 tons (2400 lbs.) per cubic yardLime Rock (919) = 1.25 tons (2500 lbs.) per cubic yardRiver Rock (all) = 1.325 tons (2650 lbs.) per cubic yardGranite (all) = 1.325 tons (2650 lbs.) per cubic yardMarble (all) = 1.35 tons (2700 lbs.) per cubic yard1 cubic metre of pure water at the temperature of maximum density (3.98 °C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a mass of 1000 kg, or 1 tonne. So your question can only mean you need the weight of pure water. 1 cubic meter is 1.307950619 cubic yards. So, 1.307950619 cubic yards of fresh water weigh 1 tonne. Forget syrup or oil. For that calculation you need the specific weight of that material.

If you have 17.74 tons of sand how many yards is that?

It all depends on how wet the sand is, however the density of wet sand is given as 3240 pounds per cubic yard and as there are 2000lbs in a ton, 3240/2000 equals 1.62 tons per cubic yard. Therefore 17.74 tons equals 10.95 yards
