-- 1 cubic meter of space is 1,000 liters of space. -- 1 liter of water has 1 kilogram of mass. -- 1,000 liters of water has 1,000 kilograms of mass = 1 metric ton -- 1 metric ton of water fills 1 cubic meter of space. -- A substance with a specific gravity of 2.7 packs 2.7 times as much mass into the same space. -- 2.7 metric tons of it pack into 1 cubic meter of space. -- The number of cubic meters it occupies is (the number of metric tons)/2.7 . -- For ANY substance, the number of cubic meters it fills is (the # of metric tons)/(specific gravity) .
"Cubic ton" doesn't make sense. A ton (or "metric ton", to distinguish it from the non-metric ton) has 1000 kilograms.
There is no general conversion, since a ton is a measure of mass, and a cubic meter is a unit of volume. It depends on the density of the substance you are talking about.
there are 1.0000 kg in 1 cubic meter I do not know why, but i searched that up on a unit converter. It depends what you are reffering to; for example 1 m3 meter of water =1,000 kg = 1 metric ton
