Asphalt installation is usually bid by the square yard, the installer will buy asphalt by the ton, and it will be delivered in a truck measured in cubic yards. Therefore, a volume/weight/area ratio is required. In short, an estimator will typically assume that one square yard of compacted asphalt laid one inch deep will weigh approximately 111 pounds.

With a known weight per square yard we can figure out how many tons of asphalt we will need for a given road. We also use this in reverse to check how much asphalt we are putting down per square yard as we go along.
