Approximately one ton, it depends how dry it is, and can depend on the kind of sand it is, but generally you figure about a ton. A cubic yard of water weighs 1,674 lbs. , or 62 lbs per a cubit foot which contains approx 7.? gallons which weighs 8.33 lbs.

Placing a question mark at the end of a phrase does not make it a sensible question. Try to use a whole sentence to describe what it is that you want answered.

If you have 17.74 tons of sand how many yards is that?

It all depends on how wet the sand is, however the density of wet sand is given as 3240 pounds per cubic yard and as there are 2000lbs in a ton, 3240/2000 equals 1.62 tons per cubic yard. Therefore 17.74 tons equals 10.95 yards


How do you convert cubic yards of dry sand to imperial tons?

Start with a conversion factor. An "old timer's" view is that a cubic foot of dry sand weighs about 125 pounds. There are 3 feet in a yard. There are 3 x 3 or 9 square feet in a square yard. There are 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. As there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and there are 125 pounds to a cubic foot of our dry sand, there are 27 x 125 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard, or 3,375 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard. (Yes, there are that many.) There are 2,240 pounds in an Imperial ton. There are 3,375 divided by 2,240 Imperial tons in a cubic yard of dry sand, or right at 1.5 Imperial tons of dry sand per cubic yard. To convert cubic yards of dry sand to Imperial tons, multiply the number of cubic yards of dry sand by 1.5 and your answer will appear. Every time.

How many cubic yards is 4 yards?

Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. A cubic yard is made up from 27 cubic feet. So taking a value of about 100 pounds of sand per cubic foot, 1 cubic yards of sand would weigh 2700 pounds or 1.35 ton [short, US]. Thus 4/1.35 = 2.963 So 4 short, US tons of sand would occupy a volume of 2.963 cubic yards.


How much does a cubic yard of concrete sand weigh?

That depends on the pounds per cubic feet (PCF) of the the sands. Sand will vary from one place to another. Assuming 106.5 pcf, 1 cubic yards (27 cubic feet) would be 1.44 tons, but 2 tons would be the 2 tons recommended order for safety's sake. A like to a sand calulator is attached.
