Ton to Cubic Meter Calculator – Convert Tonne to M³

Enter density of material in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) in ton to cubic meter. For example: Sand: ~1600 kg/m³ Concrete: ~2400 kg/m³ Water: ~1000 kg/m³.

Choose metric, short, or long tons, Select material type or enter custom density.

The calculator will convert volume from tonne to cubic meters.

With 2.5 metric tons of concrete, ton to cubic meter converter process these parameters to determine the volume, typically around 1.04 cubic meters.

Ton to Cubic Meter Conversion Table

Ton to Cubic Meter Formula

Volume (m³) = Mass (tons) ÷ Density (tons/m³)

Weight Conversion Formulas:

Metric Tons to kg = Weight × 1000
Short Tons to kg = Weight × 907.18474
Long Tons to kg = Weight × 1016.047

Working with standard concrete having a density of 2.4 tons per cubic meter, converting 10 tons would be:

Volume = 10 tons ÷ 2.4 tons/m³ = 4.17 cubic meters

How to Convert Ton to Cubic Meter?

• Identify material density in tons per cubic meter
• Confirm weight measurement in tons
• Perform division calculation (weight divided by density)

Using granite (density ≈ 2.7 tons/m³):

Volume = 15 tons ÷ 2.7 tons/m³ = 5.56 cubic meters

Convert 25 Ton to Cubic Meter

For Water (density = 1 ton/m³): 25 tons ÷ 1 ton/m³ = 25 cubic meters

For Standard Soil (density = 1.6 tons/m³): 25 tons ÷ 1.6 tons/m³ = 15.63 cubic meters

• Steel (density = 7.85 tons/m³): 5 tons ÷ 7.85 = 0.64 m³
• Wood (average density = 0.9 tons/m³): 5 tons ÷ 0.9 = 5.56 m³
• Sand (dry, density = 1.6 tons/m³): 5 tons ÷ 1.6 = 3.13 m³
• Gravel (density = 1.5 tons/m³): 5 tons ÷ 1.5 = 3.33 m³
• Coal (density = 1.4 tons/m³): 5 tons ÷ 1.4 = 3.57 m³
• Concrete: Density: 2400 kg/m³, Volume per ton: 0.417 m³
• Water: Density: 1000 kg/m³, Volume per ton: 1.000 m³

What is Ton and Cubic Meter?

Ton: A ton is a unit of mass or weight measurement. There are several types of tons: the metric ton (1,000 kilograms), the short ton (2,000 pounds, commonly used in the US), and the long ton (2,240 pounds, used in the UK). The metric ton, also called “tonne,” is the most widely used internationally and is part of the metric system.

Cubic Meter: A cubic meter (m³) is a unit of volume in the metric system, representing a cube that measures one meter on each side (length, width, and height). It equals 1,000 liters or approximately 264.17 US gallons.
