LaoThe 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.

How much is a ton of sand from lbs?
There are 2,000 pounds in a ton, so if you have a ton of sand, it would equal 2,000 pounds.
How many pounds of play sand is in 5 cubic feet?
Please note that there are different kinds of sand. A table on the site "Engineeringtoolbox" lists densities between about 80 and 125 pounds per cubic foot, depending on the type of sand, and on whether it is dry or wet.
How much does 24 gallons of sand weigh?
The weight of sand can vary depending on its composition, but on average, dry sand weighs about 100-120 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, 24 gallons of sand would weigh approximately 200-240 pounds.
What takes up more space 50 pounds of sand or 50 pounds of water?
Sand sinks in water, so it is more dense. Density = mass/volume. Or Volume = Mass/Density. For the same mass, more dense substance will take up less volume. So the water takes up more space.
How much sand can a gallon of water hold?
Approximately 15 pounds of sand can be suspended in a gallon of water, but this can vary depending on the type of sand and the density of the water.
