How to convert sand from kg to cubic feet

How to calculate the sand in cubic feet to kg and what is the density of sand for medium, coarse size

 

[Srinivasan]

o find the density of any object, you need to know the Mass (grams) of the object, and its Volume (measured in mL or cm³). Divide the mass by the volume in order to get the Density.

 

[Dnyan Deshmukh]

Take a known volume container, say you have a box of 30 x 30 x 30 cm = 27000 Cm3 or 27 Liters or 0.027 Cum.

Take the weight of empty box and not down its weight say 1 kg

Fill the box with sand without compacting it and weight it and record the weight, say it comes to - 45.55 Kg

So the weight of sand will be - 44.55 Kg

Volume of sand will be - 0.027 cum

So the density of sand will be - weight / Volume = 44.55 / 0.027 = 1650 kg/cum.

Now you have the density of sand (mostly its called as dry loose bulk density)

Now understand the relation

1 cum = 35.32 cft

so if you want to convert it to cft then you need to divide it with 35.32

So you get sand density = 1650 / 35.32 = 46.71 Kg/cft

No measure your sand volume at site in cft and multiply it with above density per cft.

say you have 100 cft sand at site - so its total weight will be = 46.71 x 100 = 4671 Kg.

You can use any size and shape box of known measurement for calculation of density.

Sir thank you for your answer but I want to know the sand is in tonne then how to convert into CFT and same for aggregate in cft

 

[Dnyan Deshmukh]

1 metric ton is equal to 1000 Kg.

Its a simplest thing, i hope now you xan able to do it

Near explanation sir..
