How can I convert the measurement of cups of sand to grams or kilograms?

Answer 1

To convert cups of sand to grams or kilograms, you'll have to have some idea of the density of the sand. The density of the sand will depend on the material it is composed of and the grain size. There is also a "moisture factor" to speak to water content and a "compaction factor" to cover how tightly it is compacted. Sounds technical, and it can be. But if you want to simplify things, just grab an "average" density and work from there. The density of sand can vary a bit, but a commonly cited value for "regular sand" is about 2000 kilograms/meter3 or so. There are about 4226.75 U.S. cups in a cubic meter, and that makes for about 0.473 kg or about 473 grams per cup.

Answer 2

To convert cups of sand to grams or kilograms, you will need to know the density of sand, as it can vary. A common estimate is that 1 cup of sand is approximately 250 grams. To convert to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1000.
