A ton is a unit of weight. Cubic meters is a unit of volume. To convert you need the density of the material.

1 metric ton of pure water = 1,000kg = 1,000kilo-litres = 1m³
5 tons of water = 5,000kg = 5,000 kL= 5 m³
The S.G. is needed: - e.g.
5 tons of a substance with a specific gravity of 0.90 will occupy a volume of 4.5 m³.
