How many kilograms of dry sand in one metric ton?
1 metric ton = 1000 Kg It doesn't matter if it is dry sand, wet sand or anything else. A 'metric ton' is often just called a 'tonne', to distinguish it from the other two types of tons (British ton and US ton).
How many ton make 1 cubic meter of sand?
It depends on the density of the sand, between about 1.4 tons dry, 1.7 tons rammed, dry. Wet sand will be heavier.
How do you convert cubic yards of dry sand to imperial tons?
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.
Square feet in a ton of sand?
The answer will depend on how thinly the sand is spread.
How much does 1 cubic tonne of sand weight?
1 ton, but I don't know whether that's a short ton or a long ton. A cubic ton is a measurement of volume (i.e. how much space it takes up). A cubic ton of sand is how much space a ton of sand takes up. A cubic ton of timber is how much space a ton of timber takes up, and as timber is lighter than sand, a cubic ton of timber is larger than a cubic ton of sand, even though they both weigh the same. As for the volume of a cubic ton of sand, I have no idea. You could get a rough answer this way: "m" divided by "d" where m =one ton in whatever units you are using (e.g. kg) and d = density of sand (in the same units)
