How to Calculate
To calculate sand weight, enter your volume in cubic feet, cubic yards, or cubic meters, then select your sand type (dry, wet, or packed). The calculator multiplies your volume by the appropriate density to determine total weight. **Formula: Weight = Volume × Density**. If you have dimensions instead of volume, multiply length × width × depth to get cubic feet first. The results include conversions to tons and kilograms for easier material ordering and transport planning.
Formula & Method
Weight (lb) = Volume (ft³) × Density (lb/ft³)
Densities: Dry sand ≈ 100 lb/ft³, Wet sand ≈ 120 lb/ft³, Packed sand ≈ 130 lb/ft³
Volume (ft³) = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (ft)
