How do you convert CUBIC FEET to TON?

Answer 1

Depends on the material. You can't implicitly convert a volume to a weight without knowing the density of the material. A cubic foot of gold will weigh a lot more than a cubic foot of feathers, or air, for example.

Answer 2

Cubic feet=volume
ton=weight.
you can't convert 1 to the other.

Answer 3

You cannot convert Volume (cubic feet) to Weight (Ton) directly. You need a common denominator. When you find out what 1 cubic foot of the item weighs then you can convert that factor into a different weight unit/category (ton).

e.g. Let's say 1 cubic foot of sand weighs 15 pound [metric] *** This missing part of the equation is needed for the conversion ***

To convert 1 cubic foot of sand into ton [metric] use the formula:

1 pound [metric] = 0.000 5 ton [metric]
15 pound [metric] = 0.007 5 ton [metric]

Therefore 1 cubic foot of sand weighs 0.0075 tons

Answer 4

ton is a unit of weight and cubic feet is a unit of volume u cant convert them into each other

Answer 5

You need a measure of density too, like pounds per cubic foot or something.

A ton is 2,000 pounds.

Answer 6

Multiply by density expressed in tons/ft^3

Answer 7

no way.while the former is a unit of volume the latter is a unit of mass
