Yes, you need to know the density of tarmac which varies depending on the aggregate used but is around 2.4 tonne per cubic metre

Tarmac is an oil-based product; the binder is a heavy tar or bitumen and as such, it can be 'thinned' by the addition of a lighter oil, such as paraffin, petrol or even turpentine. Many automotive oils, such as petrol, diesel or even brake fluid, can 'dissolve' the binder of a tarmac and there's no way of 're-sticking' the aggregate back together. Further, the contaminating oil will seep and spread, degrading all the tarmac that it contacts. Given a few days, a petrol leak will 'eat' its way through a 75mm thick tarmac driveway; a screwdriver or stiletto heel will easily penetrate the previously 'set' surfacing and before long, the now unbound aggregate will begin to be scattered everywhere. And once a hjole appears in a tarmac surface, it just gets bigger and bigger as the edges 'crumble'.
Tarmac appears darker when wet because the water fills the pores in the surface, reducing the reflection of light. The water on the surface creates a smooth layer that decreases light scattering, making the pavement appear darker.
Tarmac Limited's population is 12,500.
Tarmac Limited was created in 1903.
Tarmac, short for tarmacadam, was patented in the 19th century by Scottish engineer John Loudon McAdam. It is a road surfacing material made of crushed stone mixed with tar or bitumen, primarily used for surfacing roads and pavements.
If we didn't have Tarmac roads the roads would be bumpy and dusty, the dust would go in to the air and cause people to cough and could cause crashes. The inventor of Tarmac is Edgar Hooley he invented Tarmac in 1902. Tarmac is heated and then poured on to road.
When installed, tarmac is a mixture of solid aggregate in liquid asphalt. When the mixture cools, the finished tarmac pavement is solid.
Only if... (a) you know the weight of a measured amount of tarmac - and (b) you know what depth the tarmac is. If you can calculate the volume of tarmac, and you know the weight of a specific amount - you can convert to tonnes.
in 1830 the Scotsman John Loudon Macadam invented the first form of tarmac called Tarmacadam. the tarmac we know today was made in 1901.
Tarmac is not a rock, but a man-made road surfacing material.
In 1901, tarmac was patented by Edgar Purnell Hooley. Hooley named it after John MacAdam, giving it the name Tarmacadam, which most everyone shortens to tarmac.
