1.5 to 1.65 tons per CY.
That depends on the pounds per cubic feet (PCF) of the the sands. Sand will vary from one place to another. Assuming 106.5 pcf, 1 cubic yards (27 cubic feet) would be 1.44 tons, but 2 tons would be the 2 tons recommended order for safety's sake. A like to a sand calulator is attached.
You need 7500 cubic feet of sand, say 150 long x 100 wide = 15000 x .5 (half a foot)deep=7500. In order to figure this you need to know how many cubic feet are in a ton of sand and we don`t have that, but there is a way around it. Typically sand, gravel and top soil etc. is sold by contractors by the yard or cubic yard. So look at it this way 7500 cubic feet divided by 27 cubic feet (3x3x3=27) in one cubic yard and your answer is 278 yards or cubic yards of sand.

O.K. I can help. Keep in mind that density,compaction, and h2o content are contributing factors. To stay on the safe side calculate all raw rock products as follows: 1 cubic yard=1.8 tons.
It all depends on how wet the sand is, however the density of wet sand is given as 3240 pounds per cubic yard and as there are 2000lbs in a ton, 3240/2000 equals 1.62 tons per cubic yard. Therefore 17.74 tons equals 10.95 yards
how many tons of rock are in a yard?
A yard of sand weighs approximately 1.3 tons or 2600 pounds.
how many tons of rock are in a yard?
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.
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.
aprox 21.04 tons
The weight of 1 yard of sand can vary depending on the type of sand being used. On average, a cubic yard of sand can weigh between 2,600 to 3,000 pounds (1.3 to 1.5 tons).
Approximately one ton, it depends how dry it is, and can depend on the kind of sand it is, but generally you figure about a ton. A cubic yard of water weighs 1,674 lbs. , or 62 lbs per a cubit foot which contains approx 7.? gallons which weighs 8.33 lbs.
