The number of bricks in a ton can vary depending on the size and density of the bricks. On average, a standard brick weighs around 4.5 pounds (2.04 kg). Therefore, there are approximately 445 bricks in a ton. It's important to note that this number is an estimate and can fluctuate based on the specific characteristics of the bricks being used.

TaigaOK, take an average house brick (is there such a thing?) which weighs about 6 pound 8 oz (2.9K), and then using the English (long) ton which is 2240, you get approx 340 bricks to the ton I reckon -
Using the US (short) ton which is 2000 pounds, there are approximately 305 bricks to the ton.
As an aside, if you have a 6 yard builders skip that you are filling up you can load about 7 tons max. , that's 2380 bricks, quite few then.

What does a ton of bricks look like?
Big and heavy
Whats heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
A ton of x is neither heavier nor lighter than a ton of y - regardless of how heavy the individual units of x or y. Obviously, you would need a lot more feathers than bricks but that's another question entirely.
Which is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
A ton is a ton, whether bricks, feathers or shoes. So they weigh the same. However in reality, the space taken up by the feathers would also include a large amount of air (which has a lot of mass and therefore weight if you get enough of it), where bricks would be stacked together with little air between. The feathers would then weigh more when actually measured, but only because you aren't measuring just the feathers. ANS2: The ton is a mass unit--it measures how much "stuff" you have. Heaviness, how hard gravity pulls a mass to another object, is measured by weight units. The avoirdupois system uses the pound as a unit of mass. There are 2000 pounds in an avoirdupois ton. Weight is measured in slugs. Since a ton of feathers has the same mass as a ton of bricks we are left to determine which has a greater attraction to the earth (weight). Two factors determine this measurement: "How far is the center of gravity from the center of the earth?" and "Are there any countering forces?" In a pile of bricks, the center of gravity is slightly closer to the center of the earth than would be the center of gravity of a pile of feathers. The gravitational attraction on the bricks would be greater than on the feathers. Feathers occupy more space than bricks of the same mass and, therefore displace more air. Air would provide a buoyant force countering the force towards the center of the earth. For these two reasons, a ton of bricks weighs slightly more than a ton of feathers.
Which weighs more a ton of rocks or a ton of water?
A ton of rocks and a ton of water both weigh the same, which is one ton. Weight is determined by the mass of an object, regardless of its composition.
What is more dense- a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
The answer is very much the same as the answer to the question: "Which weighs most, hot water, cold water, or water colored green ?" The answer, of course, is: That depends on how much you have of each substance. One thing we can definitely guarantee: A pound of bricks, a pound of cheese, and a pound of feathers all have precisely the same, identical, and indistinguishable weight.
