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)

1 metric ton os alphalt is a measure of the mass of an amout of the substance. This measure can be converted to an equivalent volume measure. However, square metres are a measure of an area that the as[halt will cover and that will depend on its depth. You have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information and so I cannot provide a more useful answer.
well .. u should multiply it with the density of asphalt concrete ...
tht is .. 2243 KG/m3
so its 414.955metric tons of asphalt!! i guess so ..
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)
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.
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.
It of course depends on the depth. An old rule of thumb is one ton will cover one square yard (3'x3') at 18 inch depth. Of course we don't place it 18 inches deep very often. But if you divide 18 by the number of inches you do plan to lay, it will tell you how many square yards can be covered. For example, at 3" depth, divide 18 by 3 = 6 square yards will be covered. Another way is to calculate the volume you are covering in cubic feet such as 15 feet by 50 feet by 3 inches (0.25'), = total cubic feet. Then divide totl cubic feet by 150 (apprx. wt per cubuc foot of asphalt)=TONS NEEDED
a kilometer is in length. a ton is in weight. They don't convert.
