Cubic Yards
A cubic yard is an imperial volume unit equivalent to the volume of a cube with sides that are one yard in length. It is normally found in the United States for measuring large volumes of materials such as soil, gravel, or concrete.
When converting volume measurements, be sure to remember that the dimensions are cubed and so doubling the sides of a cube will increase the volume by a factor of eight. To make conversions easier, please use our conversion calculators such as the one on this page and refer to the calculation underneath if you want to understand how the conversion is calculated.
US dry gallons
