The weight of sand per inch in a square yard can vary based on the type of sand and its density. On average, dry sand weighs around 100-125 pounds per cubic foot. To calculate the weight per inch of sand in a square yard, you would need to determine the volume of sand in cubic inches and then convert that to pounds using the weight per cubic foot.

I will have to assume you are trying to estimate for a driveway, patio, or similar project.

If you plan to buy dry sand, it is generally calculated at 100 pounds per cubic foot or 1600kg per cubic metre. Weight of wet sand (builders sand) would of course depend on how much water is present.

Assuming dry sand, the answer to your question would be 8.3 pounds per square foot per inch of depth. This is 75 pounds per square yard per inch of depth.

Hope this helps.
