Cubic Meter to Ton Calculator – Convert M³ to Ton
Cubic Meter to Ton Calculator
1 m³ = 0.353146667 ton, the cubic meter to ton calculator facilitates the conversion using Tons = Volume in cubic meters × Material density in tons/m³ formula.
- Water: 1 m³ = 1 ton (density: 1000 kg/m³).
- Sand: 1 m³ ≈ 1.6 tons (density varies, average: 1600 kg/m³).
- Gravel: 1 m³ ≈ 1.5 tons (density varies, average: 1500 kg/m³).
- Steel: 1 m³ = 7.85 tons (density: 7850 kg/m³).
Let’s consider converting 5 cubic meters of concrete:
- Concrete density: ~2.4 tons/m³
- Calculation: 5 m³ × 2.4 tons/m³ = 12 tons

Cubic Meter to Ton Conversion Formula
The formula for converting cubic meters to tons is:
Weight in tons = Volume in cubic meters × Material density in tons/m³To calculate the weight of 3 cubic meters of gravel:
- Gravel density: 1.5 tons/m³
- Calculation: 3 m³ × 1.5 tons/m³ = 4.5 tons
Cubic Meter to Ton Sand Formula
For sand specifically, the conversion formula uses sand’s typical density of 1.6 tons/m³:
Sand weight in tons = Volume in cubic meters × 1.6 tons/m³How to Convert Cubic Meter to Ton?
The conversion process follows these steps:
- Identify the material’s density in tons per cubic meter
- Measure the volume in cubic meters
- Multiply the volume by the density
Calculation for 4 cubic meters of soil:
Soil density = 1.3 tons/m³
Volume = 4 m³
Weight = 4 m³ × 1.3 tons/m³ = 5.2 tons
How Many Tons Are in 1 Cubic Meter of Sand?
One cubic meter of sand weighs about 1.6 tons, though this can vary slightly based on:
- Moisture content
- Grain size
- Compaction level
For example, calculating weight for wet sand:
- Wet sand density ≈ 1.7 tons/m³
- Calculation: 1 m³ × 1.7 tons/m³ = 1.7 tons
How Many Cubic Meters is a 10 Ton Truck?
Here’s how to calculate:
Volume = Weight capacity ÷ Material densityFor a 10-ton truck carrying soil:
- Soil density = 1.3 tons/m³
- Volume = 10 tons ÷ 1.3 tons/m³ = 7.69 m³
How Many Cubic Meters Are in 1 Ton of Water?
Water has a density of 1 ton/m³ at 4°C, making it a perfect 1:1 ratio:
- 1 ton of water = 1 cubic meter
- 2 tons of water = 2 cubic meters
This relationship changes slightly with temperature:
- At 20°C: approximately 1.002 m³ per ton
- At 90°C: approximately 1.036 m³ per ton
