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.
