Sand is 3-dimensional, so it cannot be measured in a matter of yards.A CUBIC yard of sand, though, would weigh 3375 pounds.
how much does 1 cubic yard of carpeting with padding weigh
A yard of sand weighs approximately 1.3 tons or 2600 pounds.
2060 kilograms
1KG
That is approximately 525 Kg depending on dampness of the sand.
about 2500 pounds.
Exactly how much more it weighs will depend on how wet it is.

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.
about 2700 pounds per cubic yard

A cubic yard of finely crushed asphalt will weigh about 2,600 pounds
There is approximately 1. 35 tons in a cubic yard of fine sand.
This can vary do to the mixture of sand, stone, cement... but an approximate average would be 3000 lbs
depends on the material you are measuring, a cubic yard of feathers may not weigh a ton, but a cubic yard of lead would.
