Conversion Calculators
Last updated .
These tools convert a number you already have. They use the same densities as the material pages. One cubic yard is 0.764554857984 cubic meters. One short ton is 907.18474 kg. At 1,600 kg/m³, a yard is 1.35 short tons and 1.22 tonnes.
The cost calculator does not invent a local price. Type the quote per ton or per yard. The dump truck page compares bed volume with a weight limit and tells you which one runs out first. It is a planning check, not a legal payload.
Square footage adds or subtracts rectangles, triangles, circles, and L-shapes. It does not turn that area into cubic yards. Depth belongs on the cubic yard calculator.
Which calculator do I need?
| Job | Open |
|---|---|
| Tons to cubic yards, or yards to tons | Tons to yards |
| Length, width, and depth into cubic yards | Cubic yard |
| Switch weight or volume units | Material conversion |
| Which density this site uses, and the source | Density chart |
| Will the load hit the bed or the weight limit first | Dump truck |
| Cost from a price you were quoted | Gravel cost |
| Area of rectangles, triangles, circles, and L-shapes | Square footage |
