To convert cubic yards of sand to tons, you can use the following formula: 1 cubic yard of sand is approximately equal to 1.35 tons. Therefore, 9800 cubic yards of sand would be approximately equal to 9800 * 1.35 = 13230 tons.
60,000 cubic feet of dry sand weighs approximately 3000 tons.
To convert 2.66 tons per cubic meter to tons per cubic feet, you first need to convert cubic meters to cubic feet. There are approximately 35.3147 cubic feet in 1 cubic meter. Once you have the conversion factor, multiply the given value (2.66 tons per cubic meter) by the conversion factor to get the equivalent value in tons per cubic feet.
Start with a conversion factor. An "old timer's" view is that a cubic foot of dry sand weighs about 125 pounds. There are 3 feet in a yard. There are 3 x 3 or 9 square feet in a square yard. There are 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. As there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and there are 125 pounds to a cubic foot of our dry sand, there are 27 x 125 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard, or 3,375 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard. (Yes, there are that many.) There are 2,240 pounds in an Imperial ton. There are 3,375 divided by 2,240 Imperial tons in a cubic yard of dry sand, or right at 1.5 Imperial tons of dry sand per cubic yard. To convert cubic yards of dry sand to Imperial tons, multiply the number of cubic yards of dry sand by 1.5 and your answer will appear. Every time.
To convert tons to cubic feet (cft), you need to know the density of the material in question. The formula for converting tons to cubic feet is: cubic feet = (tons / density). For example, if you have 2 tons of a material with a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot, the conversion would be: cubic feet = (2 tons / 100 lb/ft^3) = 0.02 cubic feet.
How to convert cubic meters to tons of armour rock with 2.7 specific
sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic feet 2000 pounds is one ton 2000/100 = 20 cubic feet 1 meter = 3.28 feet 1 cu meter = 3.28 x 3.28 x 3.28 = 35.31 cu ft 20 cubic feet = 20/35.31 = 0.566 cubic meters
That depends on the pounds per cubic feet (PCF) of the the sands. Sand will vary from one place to another. Assuming 106.5 pcf, 1 cubic yards (27 cubic feet) would be 1.44 tons, but 2 tons would be the 2 tons recommended order for safety's sake. A like to a sand calulator is attached.
About .58 t
1 cubic meter = 35.3 cubic feet sand weighs 100 pounds per cu ft 35.3 x 100 = 3530 pounds 1 ton = 2000 pounds 3530/2000 = 1.76 tons
16 tons of dry sand occupies approximately 320 cubic feet of volume.
To convert from cubic inches to cubic tons, multiply the volume in cubic inches by 3.8147x10^-8 to get the volume in cubic tons. For an 8-inch by 40-foot area of sand, calculate the volume in cubic inches (8 inches x 12 inches x 40 feet x 12 inches). Then multiply this volume by 3.8147x10^-8 to convert to cubic tons.
