Any idea on what 50lbs of sand is in cubic feet?

I don't have a clue but I would guess around 1/2 cubic foot. I used to know a loooong time ago. And I had to figure the difference in weight between "wet sand" and "dry sand" for how much (in volume) a 1 ton truck could handle.
I will keep checking in for the answer.Hank Lee

Found this website with the specific gravity of several bulk materials. If sand has a spec grav of 1.602, then the density is about 100 lbs/cu.ft. So I guess Hank is right.

So I read 1600 to 2000 kg/cu m from Anna's site
Converting,
dry sand 100 lb/cu ft
wet sand 125 lbs / cu ft
so 50 lbs would take .4 (wet) to .5 (dry) cu ft.
Hank's right on.
