I use a conversion factor of 152 pcf (pounds per cubic foot) for asphalt, as a general rule of thumb. For a CY, multiply by 27, to get 4,104 pcy (pounds per cubic yard) of asphalt.

Calculate gallons of asphalt cement in a ton of asphalt?

The answer is, it depends. Different types of bituminous cement concrete (asphalt hot mix) use different percentages of asphalt cement. In Virginia, base mixes use at least 4.4% asphalt, while surface mixes are up to about 6%. Liquid asphalt is a little heavier than water; it weighs about 9.4#/gallon (depending on the source and grade). Here's the math: Base mix 2000#/ton x 4.4%/9.4#/gal. = 9.36 gal/ton surface mix 2000#/ton x 6%/9.4#/gal. = 12.76 gal/ton hope this answers the question.


1 meter ton of asphalt how many cubic meters?

Density of asphalt is depending on several specifications but overall it'll be between 1,010 and 1,300 kg/m3. So this is between 0.99 and 0.77 m3/1000kg Asphaltic concrete is about 2,240 kg/m3 (0.446 m3/1000kg)

How do you convert ton of asphalt to square meter?

depends on the density. Asphalt density is typically between 2000 to 2400 kg/m³ 1 tonne = 1000kg per cm of thickness and 1m² of area: Tonnes=2200*1*.01/1000 Tonnes=0.022 Therefore if you had a tonne of asphalt of density 2200kg/m³ and spread it to a thickness of 1cm, you would cover 45.45±m² (1/0.022)

How many tons are in a yard of asphalt?

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.
