What is the weight of 1 yard of saND?

Sand is 3-dimensional, so it cannot be measured in a matter of yards.A CUBIC yard of sand, though, would weigh 3375 pounds.


Weight of wet sand per cubic yard?

Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. Usually folks figure sand at 100 pcf. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So to continue the answer the previous poster made... Using the 100 pcf average weight for sand, and that there are 27 cubic feet in a yard, then 1 yards is equal to 27 cubic feet and at 100 pcf, the total weight is 2700 lbs, or 1.35 tons.


450 cubic yards is how many cubic feet?

A yard is 3 feet so 3 feet cubed would be 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard


How many yards of salt in 1 ton?

A cubic yard is a measure of volume (length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yards) and tons is a measure of weight. The weight of a material depends on its density, therefore, to determine the number of yards in a ton of material, the density of the material must be known.Sand has an average weight of 2,700 pounds per cubic yard (Refer to Table 1 in this chart of material weights http://www.age.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/h/H20.pdf). One ton is 2,000 pounds, therefore, there are 1.35 Tons in one cubic yard of sand.Inversely, if 1.35 tons of sand is equivalent to one cubic yard of sand, then using a ratio (tons|cubic yards), there are 0.74 cubic yards in one ton of sand.For those of you that prefer to see this answer as a mathematical calculation:length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yardsSand = 2,700 lbs/cubic yards (*This value is specific to Sand)*2,700 lbs|1 Cu Yd * 1 Ton|2,000 lbs = 1.35 Ton|Cu YdOR 1|1.35 = 0.74074 Cu Yd in 1 Ton of SandOf course nature is not precise with sand and it's weight may varying to some degree based on the grain size, the moisture content, etc.


What is the weight of one cubic inch of sand?

Silver has a density of 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter. There are 16.387 cubic centimeters in a cubic inch. Translates into 171.90 grams for a cubic inch of silver, which is about 6.06 ounces. WRONG!

What is the weight of 1 yard of Cement?

This question has been answered already. The answer given was:Depending on the relative proportions of water, sand, stone, and cement, the weight per cubic yard can vary from less than 2000 lbs to nearly 3500 lbs; I would estimate most commercially (truck) delivered concrete would run close to 3300 lbs per cubic yard - remember there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard!


How many tons of sand in 3 cubic yards?

Approximately one ton, it depends how dry it is, and can depend on the kind of sand it is, but generally you figure about a ton. A cubic yard of water weighs 1,674 lbs. , or 62 lbs per a cubit foot which contains approx 7.? gallons which weighs 8.33 lbs.


How do you calculate the amount of sand needed to cover 100 square feet 2 inches deep?

Sand is usually sold by the ton so if you find the amount needed by 100 x 1/6 this will give you your cubic foot total. Then you will divide by 27 which is the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard. You should have 16 cubic feet at these measurements. 16 divided by 27 is .59 or a little over half a cubic yard. There are 22 cubic feet of sand per ton so 1 ton of sand should do it. So if the sand in your area is sold by the ton then get 1 ton. If it sold by the yard get 3/4 yard if you can. Hope this helps.
