Перетворюйте об'ємні вимірювання в кубічних ярдах у вагу в тоннах для різних матеріалів, включаючи ґрунт, гравій, пісок, бетон та інше. Необхідно для будівництва, ландшафтного дизайну та оцінки матеріалів.
Тонни = Кубічні ярди × Щільність матеріалу: тонни = кубічні ярди × Щільність матеріалу
Для цього матеріалу: 0 = 1 × 1.4
Формула конверсії: Тонни = Кубічні ярди × Щільність матеріалу
Для цього матеріалу Ґрунт: тонни = кубічні ярди × 1.4
Конвертація між кубічними ярдами та тоннами вимагає знання щільності матеріалу. Різні матеріали мають різну вагу на об'єм. Цей калькулятор використовує стандартні значення щільності для поширених матеріалів для виконання точних конверсій.
Converting cubic yards to tons is an essential calculation for construction projects, landscaping, waste management, and material delivery. Our Cubic Yards to Tons Converter provides a simple, accurate way to convert volume measurements (cubic yards) to weight measurements (tons) for various materials. This conversion is crucial because materials like soil, gravel, sand, and concrete have different densities, meaning the same volume will weigh differently depending on the material type. Whether you're ordering materials for a construction project, estimating disposal costs, or calculating shipping weights, this converter will help you make precise conversions with minimal effort.
Converting from cubic yards to tons requires knowing the density of the material in question. The basic formula is:
Similarly, to convert from tons to cubic yards:
Different materials have different densities, which affects the conversion. Here's a comprehensive chart of common material densities:
| Material | Density (tons per cubic yard) |
|---|---|
| Soil (general) | 1.4 |
| Gravel | 1.5 |
| Sand | 1.3 |
| Concrete | 2.0 |
| Asphalt | 1.9 |
| Limestone | 1.6 |
| Granite | 1.7 |
| Clay | 1.1 |
| Mulch | 0.5 |
| Wood chips | 0.7 |
Several factors can influence the actual density of materials:
For the most accurate results, consider these factors when performing your conversions.
Our cubic yards to tons converter is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Follow these simple steps:
The converter handles all the mathematical calculations internally, using the appropriate density values for each material type.

While cubic yards and tons are common measurements in the US, other measurement systems are used globally or for specific applications:
The cubic yard has its roots in ancient measurement systems. The yard as a unit of length dates back to early English measurement standards, with some evidence suggesting it was standardized around the 10th century. The cubic yard, as a volume measurement, naturally evolved as a three-dimensional extension of the yard.
In the United States, the cubic yard became particularly important during the industrial revolution and the construction boom of the 19th and 20th centuries. It remains the standard volume measurement for bulk materials in construction and landscaping in the US.
The ton has a fascinating etymology, derived from the "tun," a large barrel used for shipping wine in medieval England. The weight of a tun of wine was approximately 2,000 pounds, which eventually became standardized as the "short ton" in the United States.
The metric tonne (1,000 kg) was introduced as part of the metric system during the French Revolution, providing a weight unit based on decimal calculations rather than the more arbitrary traditional measurements.
Throughout history, there have been numerous attempts to standardize measurements:

40To convert cubic yards to tons, multiply the volume in cubic yards by the material's density in tons per cubic yard. For example, to convert 10 cubic yards of soil with a density of 1.4 tons/cubic yard: 10 × 1.4 = 14 tons.
To convert tons to cubic yards, divide the weight in tons by the material's density in tons per cubic yard. For example, to convert 15 tons of gravel with a density of 1.5 tons/cubic yard: 15 ÷ 1.5 = 10 cubic yards.
Different materials have different densities (weight per unit volume). Denser materials like concrete (2.0 tons/cubic yard) weigh more per cubic yard than lighter materials like mulch (0.5 tons/cubic yard).
The accuracy depends on the precision of the density value used. Our converter uses standard industry density values, but actual densities may vary due to moisture content, compaction, and material composition. For critical applications, consider testing a sample of your specific material.
A ton (also called a short ton in the US) equals 2,000 pounds, while a metric tonne (or "metric ton") equals 1,000 kilograms (approximately 2,204.6 pounds). The difference is about 10%, with the metric tonne being heavier.
Standard dump trucks typically hold between 10 to 14 cubic yards of material. Larger transfer dump trucks can hold 20+ cubic yards, while smaller trucks might hold only 5-8 cubic yards. The actual capacity depends on the truck's size and design.
Yes, significantly. Wet materials can weigh substantially more than dry materials of the same volume. For example, wet soil might weigh 20-30% more than dry soil. Our converter assumes average moisture conditions unless otherwise specified.
To calculate cubic yards, multiply the length (in yards) by the width (in yards) by the depth (in yards). For example, an area 10 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 1 foot deep would be: (10 ÷ 3) × (10 ÷ 3) × (1 ÷ 3) = 0.37 cubic yards.
Bank cubic yards (BCY) refer to material in its natural, undisturbed state. Loose cubic yards (LCY) refer to material after it's been excavated and loaded. Compacted cubic yards (CCY) refer to material after it's been placed and compacted. The same material may have different volumes in each state.
Yes, our cubic yards to tons converter is suitable for both personal and commercial use. However, for large commercial projects or when precise measurements are critical, we recommend verifying with material-specific testing or consulting with industry specialists.
