Gravel is approximately 2,750 lbs per cubic yard. Hope this helps!
Loose weight of Dry Gravel = 2,490 lb/cy =>
1 Metric Tons or tonnes= 2204.62262 Pounds
2,490 lb/cy / (2204.62262 Pounds/ 1 Metric ton) = 1.1294450022471419621014321262838 Tonnes/ cy=>
Density
1.13 Metric tons / cy = 1.13 Metric tonnes / 1 cubic yard
or Weight/Volume
Weight Volume
1.13 Metric tonnes of Dry Gravel = 1 cy of Dry Gravel
Then of course, the reverse: Volume/ Weight = Specific Volume
in such that you must ID material to quantify. Anyway, this is the conversion factor. GO FIU Construction Management! Added hualing complexities- Bank weight (in the bank) 2800 lb/cy, loose weight (excavated and loose in truck) given above, percent swell (12) increases volume/less dense, swell factor (.89= loose weight/ Bank weight).

How do you convert cubic yards in to tons?
You don't. Cubic yards is volume while yards is distance.
Convert 9800 cubic yards of sand to tons?
To convert cubic yards of sand to tons, you can use the following formula: 1 cubic yard of sand is approximately equal to 1.35 tons. Therefore, 9800 cubic yards of sand would be approximately equal to 9800 * 1.35 = 13230 tons.
Convert tonnage into cubic yard?
To convert tonnage to cubic yards, you need to know the density of the material. The formula to convert tonnage to cubic yards is: (Tonnage / Density) * 1.35. This formula assumes a standard density of 1.35 tons per cubic yard.
How do you convert 45 cubic yards of metal to metric tons?
You cannot. You need information on density of the metal.
How do you convert cubic yards of soil to metric tons?
You can't convert the two. One is measurement of weight, and the other is a measurement of mass.
How do you convert cubic yards to cubic?
Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards.
HOW DO YOU Convert 270 cubic feet to cubic yards?
To convert from cubic feet to cubic yards, multiply cubic feet by 0.037. So, 270 x 0.037 = 46.99 cubic yards.
How many cubic feet is 8 cubic yards?
That depends upon the substance that makes up the 800 cubic yards: 800 cubic yards of hydrogen weights approx 47.86 short tons; whereas 800 cubic yards of mercury weighs approx 9124 short tons.
Convert cubic feet to cubic yards?
Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards.
Convert cubic yards to cubic feet?
Easy to do. Multiply cubic yards by 27 to get cubic feet.
Convert 6.4 tons to cubic yards?
The conversion is different depending on what substance you are using. You need to know the density of the material you are using. For instance, and this is from Reade.com; Earth, moist, excavated - 90 pounds/cubic foot Earth, wet, excavated - 100 pounds/cubic foot Multiply the volume in cubic feet by the above number, and you will get pounds.

How much does 3 cubic yards of topsoil with a density of 125 pounds per cubic foot equal to in weight given in tons?
1 cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so 3 cubic yards is 81 cubic feet. At 125 lb per cubic foot, that much topsoil would weigh 10,125 lb. At 2000 lb per ton, that converts to 5.0625 tons (if we assume complete precision of all the numbers - if not, then we would be limited to 1 digit of precision because the 3 in 3 cubic yards is only precise to 1 digit. In that case we would have to round the answer off to be 5 tons)
