None, since there can be no conversion.

A ton is a measure of mass. A cubic yard is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. If you are not convinced, consider a cubic yard of air. How many tons? Next consider a cubic yard of lead. How many tons?


The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

There are approximately 27,000 tons in 20,000 cubic yards. The conversion factor varies depending on the material being measured, so it is important to know the density of the substance in question to make an accurate conversion.

How many tons are in a cubic yard?

Insufficient data to answer, a cubic yard is a measure of volume (3feet x 3feet x 3feet); whereas a ton is a measure of mass/weight (2000 pounds). Different materials have different weights. A "yard" of feathers will weigh a lot less than a "yard" of mud. A cubic yard in shiping is counted as a ton.


How many yards in a ton of coco coir or peat?
