The United States shipping ton = 40 cubic feet, another name for the freight ton.

A register ton is a unit used in describing the cargo capacity of a ship, = 100 cubic feet (approximately 2.83 cubic meters). Called a tonneau de mer in Belgium. In France, the tonneau de mer is 1.44 cubic meters (about 1.88 cubic yards).

For other ton definitions, see: http://www.sizes.com/units/ton.htm
This question cannot be answered sensibly. A cubic foot is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A tonne is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

As a simple mental exercise consider a cubic foot of air and of water. They will have very different masses.

There are approximately 27 cubic feet in a ton. The exact conversion factor depends on the material being measured, as different materials have different densities.
