Think of it this way: A metric ton of styrofoam will occupy far more volume than a metric ton of lead or tungsten.
For water at 4C and 760mmHg 1 liter equals 1 kilogram, although this is no longer the SI definition of one liter. So for water at ideal conditions 1 metric ton = 1 cubic meter. Many industries dealing with fluids at or near the density of water use this equivalency as a shortcut even if it is not quite accurate.
The cubic metre is a measurement unit for volume, while the tonne is a unit for weight, so they cannot generally be compared meaningfully side by side. We can compare them though by considering their ratio, say tonnes/cubic metre. This is called density.
For pure water, at the temperature of 3.98 degrees Celsius,
1 cubic meter of water weighs 1 tonne (1000 kilograms).
Cubic measurements are volume.
Tons are weight (or mass).
The answer above implies that it is not possible to convert Cubic metres to metric tonnes which is not true. It can be done and it is very simple, also Weight is not the same thing as mass. Weight is the result of the effect of gravity on mass and as such is variable. Mass is a fixed value.
eg. 1 gramme of water has both a mass (density) and a weight of 1 gramme
at 1G (1G = the gravity of the earth) So as there are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in 1 cubic metre 1 cubic metre of water weighs 1000kg or 1 metric tonne. 1gramme x 1,000,000/1000
The calculation can only be done if you know the density of the material.
The density of a substance is defined in grammes per cubic centimetre.
Once you know the mass of a substance (its weight per CC) it is simple. No complex calculations are needed, eg. Lead has a mass (weight) of 11.43g/cc. All that is needed is to replace the little g with tonnes per cubic metre eg 11.43 tonnes per cubic metre. Or if you need it in kilogrammes 11,430 kg/m3
You could multiply the density by 1 million and divide the result by 1000 to get the weight in kg and divide that by 1000 to get metric tonnes per cubic metre but why take the long way round.
Cubic means a three-dimensional volume. Square means a two-dimensional flat area. "square cubic meter" is nonsense. And "matric" seems to be metric.
The answer will depend on the material. Feathers? Wood? Depleted uranium?
Depends on what it's a cubic meter of. A cubic meter of hay will be much lighter than a cubic meter of sand.
A cubic meter is a unit of volume; a metric ton is a measure of mass. Depending on what is in a particular cubic meter, the mass may vary between close to zero (in a vacuum), and billions of tons (in a neutron star). For example, a cubic meter of water has a mass of 1 ton, a cubic meter of lead, about 11 tons, a cubic meter of gold, about 19 tons. In every case, you have to multiply the volume with the density of whatever fills the cubic meter.A cubic meter is a unit of volume; a metric ton is a measure of mass.

1.7/1.8 metric ton 1 hopper ton is about 3,55 cubic meter
There are 1000 kg in a metric ton. As such 1m3 of concrete of density 2400 kg/m3 has a mass of 2.4 metric tons.
You dont. A cubic meter is a measure of volume. A ton is a unit of weight. How do you convert the size of a class room to a ton? You don't. Now how do you covert the weight of a cubic meter of water to a ton? That would be a question that has an answer. A cubic meter of water weighs 1000 kg, or a metric ton. A Kilogram is equal to about 2.2 pounds. So a metric ton is equal to about 2200 poins or about 1.1 tons. A cubic meter of water weighs about 1.1 tons.
average of 0.12tons of rebars per cubic meter of concrete.

One tonn
The answer depends on the units for density which you have chosen not to share!
1.2 metric tons equals 1 cubic meter of Fly ash (one of the residues of coal combustion).
1 liter of water has nominally 1 kilogram of mass.1 metric ton = 1,000 kilograms1 cubic meter = 1,000 litersSo 1 cubic meter of water would be 1 metric ton of mass.
Cubic meters measure volume, tons measure either mass or weight (depending on whether you mean metric tons or US tons). You can't convert between the two without specifying a material. One cubic meter of water has a mass of just about one metric ton (which weighs almost the same as a US long ton).
14.82 Metric Tons 1 cubic meter of water is 1 metric ton, 1 cubic yard is 0.7835 cubic meters 0.91 X 0.91 X 0.91 = 0.7835 of 1 cubic meter Gold is 19 times heavier than water, therefore 0.7835 X 19 = 14.82 Metric Tons.
