Clean quartz sand weighs 80-125 pounds per cubic foot depending on degree of compaction and moisture content. Usually folks figure sand at 100 pcf. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard.
So to continue the answer the previous poster made...
Using the 100 pcf average weight for sand, and that there are 27 cubic feet in a yard, then 1 yards is equal to 27 cubic feet and at 100 pcf, the total weight is 2700 lbs, or 1.35 tons.

∙ 9y agoThe density of sand is determined by several factors including moisture content, whether it is packed or loose and if it contains gravel. Dry sand has a density of 1281 to 1602 kilograms per cubic meter, but wet packed sand has a density of 2082 kilograms per cubic meter.

How much does one shovel full of sand weight?
Dry sand weighs about 100 lbs. per cubic foot.There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so that would make the weight of dry sand about 2700 lbs. per cubic yard.To see the weight of wet sand and many other common materials, click the "Actual Weight of Sand can be found here:"link below!
How much does one yard of wet concrete weigh?
AnswerDepending on the relative proportions of water, sand, stone, and cement, the weight per cubic yard can vary from less than 2000 lbs to nearly 3500 lbs; I would estimate most commercially (truck) delivered concrete would run close to 3300 lbs per cubic yard - remember there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard!
How much does one squard yard of crushed seashell weigh?
That depends how thick you spread it! It would make more sense to ask about the weight (or mass) per cubic yard, cubic foot, etc.
What is the weight of one cubic inch of sand?
Silver has a density of 10.49 grams per cubic centimeter. There are 16.387 cubic centimeters in a cubic inch. Translates into 171.90 grams for a cubic inch of silver, which is about 6.06 ounces. WRONG!
How many yards of salt in 1 ton?
A cubic yard is a measure of volume (length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yards) and tons is a measure of weight. The weight of a material depends on its density, therefore, to determine the number of yards in a ton of material, the density of the material must be known.Sand has an average weight of 2,700 pounds per cubic yard (Refer to Table 1 in this chart of material weights http://www.age.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/h/H20.pdf). One ton is 2,000 pounds, therefore, there are 1.35 Tons in one cubic yard of sand.Inversely, if 1.35 tons of sand is equivalent to one cubic yard of sand, then using a ratio (tons|cubic yards), there are 0.74 cubic yards in one ton of sand.For those of you that prefer to see this answer as a mathematical calculation:length in feet X width in feet X depth in feet/27=cubic yardsSand = 2,700 lbs/cubic yards (*This value is specific to Sand)*2,700 lbs|1 Cu Yd * 1 Ton|2,000 lbs = 1.35 Ton|Cu YdOR 1|1.35 = 0.74074 Cu Yd in 1 Ton of SandOf course nature is not precise with sand and it's weight may varying to some degree based on the grain size, the moisture content, etc.
How do you convert cubic yards of dry sand to imperial tons?
Start with a conversion factor. An "old timer's" view is that a cubic foot of dry sand weighs about 125 pounds. There are 3 feet in a yard. There are 3 x 3 or 9 square feet in a square yard. There are 3 x 3 x 3 or 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. As there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard and there are 125 pounds to a cubic foot of our dry sand, there are 27 x 125 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard, or 3,375 pounds of dry sand per cubic yard. (Yes, there are that many.) There are 2,240 pounds in an Imperial ton. There are 3,375 divided by 2,240 Imperial tons in a cubic yard of dry sand, or right at 1.5 Imperial tons of dry sand per cubic yard. To convert cubic yards of dry sand to Imperial tons, multiply the number of cubic yards of dry sand by 1.5 and your answer will appear. Every time.
