Converting cubic tons (i.e., volumes) to measures of weight presents difficulties because organic materials such as timber vary in density. Approximate volume conversions, based on a timber cubic ton of 40 cubic feet: 1 ton (40 cubic feet) = 1.133 cubic metres; 1 cubic metre = 0.883 cubic tons (35.32 cubic feet)
The Sand Reckoner (Greek: Ψαμμίτης, Psammites) is a work by Archimedes, an Ancient Greek mathematician of the 3rd century BC, in which he set out to determine an upper bound for the number of grains of sand that fit into the universe.

The water ton is used chiefly in Great Britain, in statistics dealing with petroleum products, and is defined as 224 imperial gallons (35.96 cu ft; 1.018 m 3), [22] the volume occupied by 1 long ton (2,240 lb; 1,016 kg) of water under the conditions that define the imperial gallon.
It is estimated that the annual consumption of sand and gravel is 40 billion tons and sand is a US$70 billion global industry. [24] With increasing use, more is expected to come from recycling and alternatives to sand. [25] The global demand for sand in 2017 was 9.55 billion tons as part of a $99.5 billion industry. [26]
