Some places sell crushed stone by the ton, while others sell it by the cubic yard (yd3) (a lot of times just called a yard).Here are the amounts in cubic yards and tons using the dimensions you posted (40ft long x 8ft wide x 4in deep)? yd3 = 40ft x 8ft x 4in x (1ft/12in) x (1yd3/27ft3) = 3.95yd3 => 4 cubic yardsFrom the table, we find crushed stone is 100 lb/ft3 and crushed granite is 103 lb/ft3so,crushed stone:tons per yd3 = 100 lb/ft3 x (27ft3/1yd3) x (1 ton / 2000 lb) = 1.35 tons (English) of crushed stone in one cubic yardcrushed granite:tons per yd3 103 lb/ft3 x (27ft3/1yd3) x (1 ton / 2000 lb) = 1.3905 tons (English) of crushed stone in one cubic yardThe difference in weight is negligible between the two materials, so using either one, you would need roughly 5.5 tons (English) of crushed stone.
well... that depends. A 'tonne' is the same thing as a ton. A ton is a weight, and a yard is distance. I guess you could spread crushed granite out and see how much space it takes up but... there's really no definite answer.
1 short ton = 142.857143 stone
There are 2,000 pounds in one ton. Since a pint is a unit of volume and not weight, the number of pints in one ton would depend on the substance being measured. For water, which has a density of 8.34 pounds per gallon, there would be approximately 240 pints in one ton. However, for substances with different densities, the number of pints in one ton would vary.
