Methodology
Sand (Wet) density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
Wet sand bulk density depends on water content and packing.
moisture: Wet; water fraction not stated
packing: Loose
Source basis: Caterpillar, Earthwork volumes reference tables. Sand, wet: loose column. https://www.cat.com/en_US/articles/ci-articles/earthwork-volumes-reference-tables.html Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Specify moisture, packing and particle distribution.
For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 0.472492 m^3 per ton (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
