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.

What is the density of Ordinary Portland Cement?
The density of Portland cement is 1.44 ton/m3.
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 calculate gpm from TR?
The GPM is gallons per minute and TR is the ton of refrigeration. The GMP can be calculated from the TR by using the formula BTUH divided by 500 multiplied by Delta T.
How many gallons of oil in a ton?
One ton of oil is equivalent to approximately 7.33 barrels, or 307 gallons. This conversion is based on the fact that one barrel of oil is equal to 42 US gallons. Therefore, to convert tons to gallons, you would multiply the number of tons by 307.
How many ton are in CY asphalt?
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.
