Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I can find nothing on a hopper ton. I'd venture that its a ton of weight (can't say if its a long ton (2240 lb) or a short ton (2000 lb), or even a metric tonne (1,000 kg)) of mass in a hopper.

As far as converting a metric tonne of mass to a volume in cubic meters, you need to know what it is. Obviously a metric tonne of feathers is going to be a lot bigger that a metric tonne of lead.
