CubicFeettoTonsCalculator

Convert cubic feet of material to tons based on specific density, useful for construction, landscaping, and material estimation

Input Parameters

Default value for concrete is approximately 0.082 tons/cubic foot

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Tons = Cubic Feet × Density

Where:
Tons - Weight in tons
Cubic Feet - Volume in cubic feet
Density - Material density in tons per cubic foot

CubicFeettoTonsCalculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the CubicFeettoTonsCalculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the volume of material in cubic feet in the "Cubic Feet" field.
  2. Enter the density of the material in tons per cubic foot. If you're unsure, use the default value for concrete (0.082 tons/cubic foot).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the weight in tons.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Weight in Tons" field.

Common Material Densities

  • Concrete: 0.082 tons/cubic foot
  • Gravel: 0.052 tons/cubic foot
  • Sand: 0.072 tons/cubic foot
  • Topsoil: 0.062 tons/cubic foot
  • Water: 0.037 tons/cubic foot

Principle Explanation

This calculator uses the basic formula:

Weight (tons) = Volume (cubic feet) × Density (tons/cubic foot)

This is useful for estimating materials needed for construction projects, landscaping, or any application where you need to convert volume measurements to weight.
