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).

1 brass sand = 4.528 Metric tones (tonnes) That's because 1 brass = 100 cub ft sand. In metric, 1 cubic meter (cum) = 1600 Kg sand. 1 cubft = 0.0283 cum Therefore, 1 brass = 100 x 0.0283 x 1600 = 4528 Kg = 4.528 metric tones (or 'tonnes') That's for dry sand. If it has been raining or the sand is taken from a wet shore, this increases, on average, to 5.09 tonne.
It depends on the density of the sand, between about 1.4 tons dry, 1.7 tons rammed, dry. Wet sand will be heavier.
To be able to answer this question some very basic information is needed:what exactly is the type of material that is on the roll from which a linear meter is to be cut?what is the dry density (dry weight per square meter) of that material, measured in kilograms per square meter?is the material dry or wet?if wet, what is the volume of water that the material holds per square meter?If the question is asked again - giving that information - someone may be able to give it a much better answer than this one!
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.
