The density of soil varies widely depending upon how much moisture it contains and how loosely packed it is. A cubic foot of packed earth weighs about 95 pounds per cubic foot; moist earth weighs about 90 pounds per cubic foot; and excavated loam weighs about 78 pounds per cubic foot. One ton (an American or "short ton") of moist earth, therefore, occupies about 22.2 cubic feet (2000 pounds per ton divided by 90 pounds per cubic foot). That is equal to about 0.629 cubic meters. (One cubic meter is equal to about 35.3 cubic feet.)

How do you convert cubic meters to tonnes?

To convert cubic meters to tonnes, you need to know the density of the material you are measuring. Multiply the volume in cubic meters by the density in tonnes per cubic meter to get the weight in tonnes. The formula is: weight (tonnes) = volume (cubic meters) * density (tonnes per cubic meter).

What is the density for Fuel in Kilogram to Metric tonnes?

Please specify exactly the type of this fuel to find the density in catalogs.Also kilogram/metric tonne is not a unit for density.Generally petroleum diesel has a density of 0,832 kg/L or 832 kg/cubic meter.


How do you Convert 10000 metric ton to cubic meters?

As written the question is incomplete as: tonnes are a measure of mass; whereas cubic meters are a measure of volume. However, mass and volume are related for every substance by density: density = mass / volume → volume = mass / density. So if you know the density of the substance that makes up the 10,000 tonnes in tonne/m³ and divide it into the 10,000 tonnes you will get the volume in cubic meters that the substance occupies.


How many tons of 1 cubed meter in metal?

The answer will depend on the metal. Lithium has a density of 0.53 tonnes per cubic metre while osmium has a density of 22.5 tonnes per cubic metre (more than 40 times as much).


What is the Units for properties involved in density?

Density = mass / volumeIn SI units: mass is expressed in kilograms volume is expressed in cubic meters Therefore, density is expressed in kilograms /cubic meters. (In practice, the unit kilogram/liter, which is equivalent to gram / cubic centimeter, is often still used.)


How many tonnes of coarse aggregate make cubic meter?

The weight of coarse aggregate required to fill one cubic meter depends on its density, which typically ranges from 1,500 to 2,500 kilograms per cubic meter. Therefore, one cubic meter of coarse aggregate generally weighs between 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes. For example, if using a density of 2,000 kg/m³, one cubic meter would equal 2 tonnes. Always check the specific density of the material being used for accurate calculations.


How many metric tonnes in 1.9 cubic meter with the density of 880?

The answer is 1,672 tonne (metric ton).


How do you convert cubic meters to metric tons of fuel oil?

To convert cubic meters to metric tons of fuel oil, you need to know the density of the fuel oil in metric tons per cubic meter. Once you have the density value, you can multiply the number of cubic meters by the density to get the mass in metric tons. The formula for this conversion is: Mass (in metric tons) = Volume (in cubic meters) x Density (in metric tons per cubic meter).


How do you convert meter cube per hour to tones per hour?

Cubic meters and tonnes are quite different units; to convert one to the other, you also need the density. For example, if the substance has a density of 5 (5 tonnes per cubic meter, equal to 5 times the density of water), just multiply by 5.
