How many cubic yards are in a ton of gravel?
There is no fixed answer. Cubic yards = mass in kg ÷ density in kg/m³ ÷ 0.764554857984. At the example density of 1,600 kg/m³, one US short ton is approximately 0.7416 yd³. At 1,800 kg/m³ it is approximately 0.6592 yd³.
US short tons and metric tonnes are different
One US short ton is exactly 2,000 lb or 907.18474 kg. One metric tonne is 1,000 kg. Confirm the unit on your supplier quote rather than entering an ambiguous “ton.”
| Density (kg/m³) | Volume (yd³) |
|---|---|
| 1,400 | 0.8475 |
| 1,600 | 0.7416 |
| 1,800 | 0.6592 |
