1 CFT is 50 to 53 kgs of Sand based on fine , coarse , medium , rough sand or M-Sand in Dry condition only.

1 Unit is defined as 100cft then for 1 Ton is 20 units of CFT , But Tractor load is defined as unit their body size varies so measure the unit based height if you buy Tractor units.

The below detail will helps out.

----------
material : 1 CFT kgs : Unit in Tone : CFT per Tonne

In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
