Sand Units Cheat Sheet
- • 1 Brass: 100 cubic feet (cft) = 2.8317 m³.
- • 1 m³ of Sand: ~35.31 cft = ~1.6 Metric Tons.
- • 1 Ton of Sand: ~22 to 23 cft (~0.625 m³).
- • M-Sand (Zone II): Ideal replacement for river sand in RCC casting & brickwork.
How to Use Sand & Aggregate Calculator
- Select calculation mode: Direct Area/Trench Filling, Concrete Aggregate demand, Plastering, or Brick Masonry.
- Enter dimensions (Length, Width, and Depth/Thickness in feet/inches or meters/cm).
- Select your sand density grade (River Sand, M-Sand / Crushed Rock Sand, Pit Sand, Gravel).
- View the volume in Cubic Feet (cft), Cubic Meters (m³), Weight in Metric Tons, and Indian Brass units.
- Check how many commercial tipper truckloads (100 cft, 300 cft, or 600 cft) you need to order.
Key Features & Privacy Guarantee

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 Brass of sand in cubic feet and cubic meters?
In Indian construction trade, 1 Brass of sand is equal to exactly 100 Cubic Feet (cft), which is equivalent to approximately 2.8317 Cubic Meters (m³) or ~4.5 to 4.8 Metric Tons of dry sand.
What is the density of river sand vs manufactured sand (M-Sand)?
Dry river sand has an average density of ~1,600 kg/m³ (~100 lbs/cft). Manufactured Sand (M-Sand) made from crushed granite is slightly denser at ~1,680 to 1,750 kg/m³.
How many cubic feet (cft) of sand are in 1 Metric Ton?
1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) of dry sand is equal to approximately 22 to 23 cubic feet (cft).
How much sand is in a standard tipper truck?
A standard 6-wheeler construction tipper carries approx 3 Brass (300 cft or ~14 tons). A large 10-wheeler heavy tipper carries approx 6 Brass (600 cft or ~28 tons).
