Cubic yard is a measure of volume. Ton is a measure of weight. How many cubic yards in a ton is going to depend entirely upon the item in question. A ton of feathers will have many more cubic yards than a ton of gravel or dirt.
If you want to apply the density yourself, it's easiest to convert all to the metric. Ton means short ton in the figures below. This equates to 907.2 kilos. 1 cubic yard is 0.764555 metres cubed, which equals 764.555 litres. These should help in applying a density that you may find.
Having said that, here are some yards per ton conversion for materials you might care about:
- Lava Rock (all) = .5 tons (1000 lbs.) per cubic yard
- Eastern Sunrise = .9 tons (1800 lbs.) per cubic yard
- Crimson = 1.1 tons (2200 lbs.) per cubic yard
- Lime Rock (57 & 89) = 1.2 tons (2400 lbs.) per cubic yard
- Lime Rock (919) = 1.25 tons (2500 lbs.) per cubic yard
- River Rock (all) = 1.325 tons (2650 lbs.) per cubic yard
- Granite (all) = 1.325 tons (2650 lbs.) per cubic yard
- Marble (all) = 1.35 tons (2700 lbs.) per cubic yard
1 cubic metre of pure water at the temperature of maximum density (3.98 °C) and standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a mass of 1000 kg, or 1 tonne. So your question can only mean you need the weight of pure water. 1 cubic meter is 1.307950619 cubic yards. So, 1.307950619 cubic yards of fresh water weigh 1 tonne. Forget syrup or oil. For that calculation you need the specific weight of that material.
The conversion rate between cubic yards and tons varies depending on the material being measured. For example, one ton of gravel typically equates to about 0.55 cubic yards, whereas one ton of topsoil is roughly equivalent to 0.75 cubic yards. It's important to check specific conversion rates for the material in question.
Depends on the wood and the ton used. For example a metric ton of Canadian Pine would be about 2.5 cubic yards.
