The density of granular soils such as sands depends on their level of compaction. See table below:A
Description - SPT N - Bulk Density
Very loose - 0 to 4 - <1600
Loose - 4 to 10 - 1600 to 1800
Medium dense - 10 to 30 - 1800 to 1900
Dense - 30 to 50 - 1900 - 2100
Very dense - >50 - >2100
Where SPT N = Standard Penetration Test No.
Bulk Density = kgm-3
As such the mass of 500m3 of sand may be anywhere from less than 800 to over 1,050 metric tonnes.

∙ 8y agoA cubic metre, or "stere" is a measure of volume, NOT weight. To get a weight you would have to specify a material - eg a stere of water, a stere of gold, a stere of cement etc.- each will have a different weight.

∙ 8y agoThat will depend a lot on what you put into that cubic meter! It can be anything from zero (for empty space), to billions of tonnes (for the matter that makes up neutron stars). The general relationship is:mass = volume x density
You need to know the density of the specific substance you place in that volume. By the way, metric tons per cubic meter is the same as kilogram per liter, so (for example), a cubic meter of water would have a mass of one ton.

∙ 7y agoNone, since there can be no conversion. A metric ton is a measure of mass. A cubic metre 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 a cubic metre of air. How many tons? Next consider the same volume of lead. How many tons?

How much sand and cement do you need to fill a 6 meters x 1.70m?
Calculating that is a CUBIC measurement, which means you need a value for width, Length and depth. in metric measure it is easier than English standards .. Once you have those three just multiply the three & you will know how much you need. IF your fill area is 2 Meters wide, 3 meters long and 1/2 meters deep the equation calculates like this (2X3X .5)=3 cubic meters Hope that helps
How much area will a 50 pound bag of sand cover?
1 cubic foot=100 lbs of sand 1728 cubic in.=100 lbs of sand 864 cubic in.= 50 lbs of sand 432 cubic in.= 25 lbs of sand and so on and so on
How much cement sand and stone do you need for 1 cubic meter of concrete?
How much cement sand and stone do you need for 1 cubic meter of concre
You have 15000 sq ft and need 6in of sand how many tons do you need?
You need 7500 cubic feet of sand, say 150 long x 100 wide = 15000 x .5 (half a foot)deep=7500. In order to figure this you need to know how many cubic feet are in a ton of sand and we don`t have that, but there is a way around it. Typically sand, gravel and top soil etc. is sold by contractors by the yard or cubic yard. So look at it this way 7500 cubic feet divided by 27 cubic feet (3x3x3=27) in one cubic yard and your answer is 278 yards or cubic yards of sand.
How many tons of sand are in a yard of sand?
There is approximately 1. 35 tons in a cubic yard of fine sand.
How many cubic meters are in 1 ton?
depends of the mass of what u are measuring
How to Convert cubic yards to cubic centimeters?
A yard is 91.44 cm One cubic yard is 91.44x91.44x91.44=764554.857984 cubic cm, or .765 cubic meters. Concrete and sand are often measured in cubic yards. In metric countries it is measured in cubic meters. Roughly there are 1.3 cubic yards in a cubic meter.
How many metric tons in a cubic meter of sand?
With dry sand. 1.602 tonnes
How many cubic meters in 1 unit of sand?
Sand, dirt, gravel and even concrete is measured by the cubic yard and each cubic yard is 1 unit. therefore 1 unit of sand = 27 cubic feet Hence 1 unit of sand = .772 cubic meters
How do you convert MT of sand into Cubic meters?
Divide by its density.
How many cubic meters of sand for one ton?
Using building sand density @ 110 pounds per cubic foot (1.762 tonne per cubic metre) > volume = mass / density volume = 1 / 1.762 = 0.5675 cubic metres > Note: if you have a different value for the sand density, replace 1.762 with your figure ( in tonnes per cubic metre) , and calculate.
How much sand do you need for 135sq meters?
You need 1.35 cubic meters for each centimeter deep.
200000000cubic meter of sand?
200 000 000 (cubic meters) = 261 590 124 cubic yards
How many cubic meter is 1 ton of chromite sand?
4.12g/cm cubed
How many cubic meter of sand in a standard dump truck in the Philippines?
A standard dump truck can haul approximately six cubic meters of sand. Sand and gravel are aggregates for foundations in Philippine construction.
What is the volume of sand in 1 cubic meter of concrete?
Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, stone, and water. In a cuibic meter of concrete, , there is about 0.3 cubic meters of sand, or about 475 kg
What is the volume in cubic meters of one ton of dune sand?
A 'Cubic metre' is a metric measure of volume. A 'Ton' is a measure of Imperial weight/mass. It all depends on what you are measuring & its density . Together with the conversion factors between 'Metric' and 'Imperial'.
