Cubic Feet to Tons Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the weight in tons (T) from cubic feet (CF) is:

\[ \text{T} = \frac{\text{CF} \cdot \text{D}}{2000} \]

Where:

\( \text{T} \) is the weight in tons
\( \text{CF} \) is the volume in cubic feet (ft³)
\( \text{D} \) is the density of the material (lbs/ft³)

What is Cubic Feet to Tons?

Converting cubic feet to tons involves calculating the weight of a material based on its volume and density. This conversion is useful in various industries, such as construction and shipping, where materials are often measured by volume but priced or transported by weight.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Volume in Cubic Feet (CF) = 1000 ft³
Density of Material (D) = 150 lbs/ft³

Using the formula to calculate the weight in tons:

\[ \text{T} = \frac{1000 \text{ ft}^3 \cdot 150 \text{ lbs/ft}^3}{2000} = 75 \text{ tons} \]

The weight in tons (T) is 75 tons.
