Insufficient data to answer, a cubic yard is a measure of volume (3feet x 3feet x 3feet); whereas a ton is a measure of mass/weight (2000 pounds). Different materials have different weights. A "yard" of feathers will weigh a lot less than a "yard" of mud.
A cubic yard in shiping is counted as a ton.
The answer depends upon the material to which you are referring too. A cubic yard of compressed cotton is obviously going to weigh less than a cubic yard of steel.
No where near 1 ton.
how many tons of rock are in a yard?
None, since there can be no conversion.A ton is a measure of mass. A cubic yard is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
2.2 Tons
as a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of concrete weighs about 4,000lbs or 2 short tons
8
1.6 tons
There is approximately 1. 35 tons in a cubic yard of fine sand.
A cubic yard of 57 gravel typically weighs around 1.4 tons or 2,800 pounds.
the answer is about 1.18 short tons. the answer is about 1.18 short tons.
Approximately, plus or minus. (rounded)
The answer depends upon the material to which you are referring too. A cubic yard of compressed cotton is obviously going to weigh less than a cubic yard of steel.
1.5 to 1.65 tons per CY.
It depends what kind of waste it is. A cubic yard of soil is aprox. 1 ton.
One cubic yard of broken limestone weighs about 1.3 tons. One cubic yard of pulverized limestone weighs about 1.17 tons.
Multiply tons by 1,529.11 to get pounds per cubic yard:* 3.3 x 1,529.11 = 5,046.063 pounds per cubic yard
