Asphalt Institute notes that the density of hot-mix asphalt is around 142 to 148 pounds per cubic foot (PCF).
How much volume is a ton of asphalt?
Therefore 2.4 ton of asphalt = 1 cubic meter. 1 cubic yard of hot asphalt mix weighs 2.025 tons or 4050 lbs. These measurements are an approximation and therefore when you are ordering the quantity ensure that you add more asphalt to gather for the waste and you don't run short as you do your pavement project.Sep 28, 2020
How many cubic yards are in a ton of asphalt millings?
Coverage (Square feet) 400 sq ft
------------------------- ----- -----
Volume (Cubic feet) 67 cu ft
Volume (Cubic yards) 2.5 cu yd
Estimated amount (Pounds) 5,951 lb
Estimated amount (Tons) 2.98 ton
How do you convert asphalt to tons?
Getting the right weight is also very important. For example, if you have 50 cubic yards of asphalt then you will 110.25 tons weight using a formula 1 cubic yard of hot asphalt unit weight typical is 2.025 tons.Sep 28, 2020
How do I convert square feet to tons?
- Multiply the length of the area by the width of the area = Square Feet.
- Multiply Square Feet by the Depth* = Cubic Feet.
- Divide Cubic Feet by 27 = Cubic Yards.
- Multiply Cubic Yards by 1.5 = Tons Needed.
How is asphalt compaction measured?
It can be measured using pavement cores or portable nuclear or electric gauges; measurement specifications vary from one contracting agency to the next. Percent air voids is usually reported as a density in one of three forms: (1) percent TMD, (2) percent of laboratory density or (3) percent of control strip density.
