About Cubic yard (in³)
A cubic yard (yd³) is the volume of a cube with 1-yard sides (3 feet), equal to approximately 764.6 liters or 27 cubic feet. It is the standard unit for ordering concrete, topsoil, mulch, and gravel in the United States. Ready-mix concrete trucks carry 8–11 yd³ per load. A typical house driveway requires 3–5 yd³ of concrete. Landfill capacity and solid waste volume are also measured in cubic yards.
A standard concrete mixer truck carries 8–10 yd³. A garden mulch or topsoil project might require 1–5 yd³.
About Imperial pint (imp pt)
The imperial pint is a unit of volume equal to one eighth of an imperial gallon, approximately 568.3 milliliters (20 imperial fluid ounces). It is the standard serving size for draft beer and cider in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Despite UK metrication, the pint survives as the legally mandated unit for selling draft beer and milk in UK pubs and shops. The imperial pint is notably 20% larger than the US liquid pint (473 mL).
A pint of beer in a UK or Irish pub is exactly 568 mL (1 imperial pint). A UK pint of milk is 568 mL.
Cubic yard – Frequently Asked Questions
How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?
One cubic yard equals exactly 27 cubic feet (since 1 yard = 3 feet, and 3³ = 27). It also equals approximately 764.6 liters.
Why is concrete measured in cubic yards?
The US construction industry uses cubic yards for ordering concrete as the traditional imperial bulk material unit. A standard ready-mix truck carries 8–10 cubic yards per load, priced typically at $100–$150/yd³.
How much does a cubic yard weigh?
Weight varies by material. Concrete weighs roughly 2 tonnes/yd³ (≈ 4,050 lb). Dry soil is about 1.1 tonnes/yd³. Mulch is about 0.4 tonnes/yd³. Gravel is about 1.4 tonnes/yd³.
How many cubic yards of concrete does a driveway need?
A typical two-car driveway (20 × 20 ft) at 4-inch thickness requires approximately 5 cubic yards of concrete. At 6-inch thickness, about 7.5 cubic yards.
How do I convert cubic yards to liters?
One cubic yard equals approximately 764.6 liters. Multiply yd³ by 764.6. For example, 5 yd³ = 5 × 764.6 = 3,823 liters.
Imperial pint – Frequently Asked Questions
How many milliliters is a UK pint?
One imperial (UK) pint equals exactly 568.26 mL (20 imperial fluid ounces). A UK pint glass holds just over half a liter.
Why is beer still sold by the pint in the UK?
The UK is legally permitted to sell draft beer and cider in pints under exemptions to metrication rules. The pint is a protected official supplementary unit for draft alcohol. Milk may also be sold in pints.
Is an Irish pint the same as a UK pint?
Yes, an Irish pint is an imperial pint — 568 mL. A pint at an Irish pub is 20 imperial fluid ounces, identical to a UK pint.
How does an Australian pint compare to a UK pint?
In Australian pubs, a "pint" is technically 568 mL, but serving sizes vary by state. In South Australia and Western Australia, a "pint" is actually 425 mL. Australian glassware terminology is notoriously inconsistent.
How many fluid ounces are in an imperial pint?
One imperial pint equals exactly 20 imperial fluid ounces. A US pint equals 16 US fluid ounces. The fluid ounce sizes also differ slightly (28.41 mL imperial vs 29.57 mL US), compounding the pint size difference.
