How many cubic feet of water make a ton?

Answer 1

A ton is a unit of weight or mass while a cubic foot is a measure of volume. You cannot say how many of one are in another without knowing more information, such as the density of the material involved.

Answer 2

Since cubic feet is a measure of volume (dimensions of length3) while ton is a measure of weight or mass, you need to know what substance you have 1 ton of - and thus can use the density (mass/volume) to convert between the two. In addition, you also have to know the temperature and pressure because density is also dependent on those two variables. In the case of liquids and solids, the density doesn't change a lot with temperature and even less with pressure so a density measured at one temperature and pressure may be good enough for most temperatures and pressures. For a gas however, temperature and pressure have a major impact on density and thus are absolutely necessary in order to determine density.

Answer 3

A volume of about 2,232.47 cubic feet is needed to contain one US ton (2,000 pounds) of water.

Answer 4

A ton of what? Cubic feet measure volume. Tons measure weight. Different substances with the same volume (a box filled with lead, the same box filled with feathers) weigh different amounts.

Answer 5

The units are not inter-convertible. Cubic feet is volume and ton is mass. You would have to provide the specific gravity (density) of the material that makes up the ton in order to convert.

Answer 6
