converting cubic yards to tons

Hello,
I have been trying to convert 416 c.y.( of gravel) into tonage & I'm unsure if I have done this right and I'm lookiing for the correct answer.
So far I have taken 150*150/9= 2500 s.y * .08= 200 tons but for some reason it doesn't seem right. Please help..

Gravel, loose, dry - 1.28 tons/cubic yard
Gravel, w/sand, natural - 1.61 tons/cubic yard
Gravel, dry 1/4 to 2 inch - 1.41 tons/cubic yard
Gravel, wet 1/4 to 2 inch - 1.69 tons/cubic yard

Depends on the type of gravel. I will show an example using loose dry gravel from the above list...

416 cubic yards * 1.28 tons/cubic yard = 532.48 tons (U.S. short tons)

Just replace the density with the correct density from the list, depending on the type of gravel.

what about dirt instead of gravel?

How close do you need to get? I can't give you accuracy as a guarantee, but looking at this:

CAB is 1/4 or smaller, and since the 1/4 or smaller dry gravel is closest I would use 1.61 tons/cubic yard or:

8100 * 1.61 = 13041 tons (U.S. short tons)

My uncle, who isn't a genius, but has been running an industrial rock crusher for 10+ years, would figure it out in his head and laugh at us.

Nothing like hands-on experience to teach you something!

The density of wet snow vs. dry snow varies by a 10:1 ratio.
