Approximately 2,205.84 pounds. ------------------------------------- Exactly 1,000 kilograms [1 metric ton] at 4*C. (the temperature of maximum density of water). This is equivalent to 2204.62 pounds. This will decrease if the water is heated [or cooled], as the density changes.
Density of asphalt is depending on several specifications but overall it'll be between 1,010 and 1,300 kg/m3. So this is between 0.99 and 0.77 m3/1000kg Asphaltic concrete is about 2,240 kg/m3 (0.446 m3/1000kg)
The density of granular soils such as sands depends on their level of compaction. See table below:ADescription - SPT N - Bulk DensityVery loose - 0 to 4 - 50 - >2100Where SPT N = Standard Penetration Test No.Bulk Density = kgm-3As such the mass of 500m3 of sand may be anywhere from less than 800 to over 1,050 metric tonnes.Source:Cobb, F. (2009) Structural Engineer's Pocket Book. Second Edition, Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford.
There are 3 types of ton in the world.The metric ton, correctly spelled 'tonne', equal to 1000 Kg.The British ton, equal to 2,240 lbs or 1,016.047 kg.The US ton, equal to 2,000 lbs or 907.1847 kg.
if you are in the USA ----2000 lbs makes a ton.
