Fully dried.. presumably you mean fully cured, not that it has no moisture 
content?

I have a handbook number of 2.4 kg/dm^3  (that's 2.4 kg/liter.. compare to 
water at 1kg/liter). Concrete, along with rock, aluminum, etc., are all in 
that 2.3-2.7 specific gravity range.

Rounding a bit, it comes to 4040 pounds/cu yard.. 2 tons
