A ton is a measure of mass. A cubic foot 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 40 cubic feet of air. How many tons? Next consider 40 cubic feet of lead. How many tons?

How do you convert 1 ton of sand to cubic meter?
sand weighs 100 pounds per cubic feet 2000 pounds is one ton 2000/100 = 20 cubic feet 1 meter = 3.28 feet 1 cu meter = 3.28 x 3.28 x 3.28 = 35.31 cu ft 20 cubic feet = 20/35.31 = 0.566 cubic meters
How do you calculate the amount of sand needed to cover 100 square feet 2 inches deep?
Sand is usually sold by the ton so if you find the amount needed by 100 x 1/6 this will give you your cubic foot total. Then you will divide by 27 which is the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard. You should have 16 cubic feet at these measurements. 16 divided by 27 is .59 or a little over half a cubic yard. There are 22 cubic feet of sand per ton so 1 ton of sand should do it. So if the sand in your area is sold by the ton then get 1 ton. If it sold by the yard get 3/4 yard if you can. Hope this helps.
