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.

How many yards of sand to fill a 275 gallon oil tank?
To determine how many yards of sand are needed to fill a 275-gallon oil tank, first, convert gallons to cubic yards. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. Thus, 275 gallons is approximately 37 cubic feet (275 ÷ 7.48). Dividing by 27 yields about 1.37 cubic yards. Therefore, you would need approximately 1.37 yards of sand to fill a 275-gallon oil tank.
How many cubic yards is 4 yards?
Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. A cubic yard is made up from 27 cubic feet. So taking a value of about 100 pounds of sand per cubic foot, 1 cubic yards of sand would weigh 2700 pounds or 1.35 ton [short, US]. Thus 4/1.35 = 2.963 So 4 short, US tons of sand would occupy a volume of 2.963 cubic yards.
How much sand is in a sand box?
To find out how much sand to put into a sand box, or how much sand is in a sand box, measure length x width x height to get a cubic volume number. Lets say you have a sand box that measures, 41 inches by 64 inches, with 12 inches deep of sand, (The child likes to dig!!) you would have yourself there, 31,488 cubic inches of sand. However, you want to know what the volume is in cubic yards. Well then, divide 31,488 cubic inches by 46,656 cubic inches per yard, and you get, some number like, 0.6748971193 cubic yards.

What if your customer has ordered 67 cubic yards of sand. The inside dimensions of your trailer are 40 feet long by 7 feet wide by 9 feet high. How high must the trailer be filled with sand (Round up?
To determine how high the trailer must be filled with sand, first, convert the trailer's dimensions to cubic yards. The trailer's volume is 40 ft × 7 ft × 9 ft = 2,520 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, the trailer can hold approximately 93.33 cubic yards of sand. To find the height for 67 cubic yards, divide 67 by the trailer's footprint (40 ft × 7 ft = 280 sq ft), which gives about 0.239 ft, or approximately 2.87 inches. Rounding up, the trailer must be filled to about 3 inches high with sand.
