Between 250 and 280 is typical for hot mix.
The short answer would be 1/4 to every inch.
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.
Mix equal amount of CSS-1 emulsified asphalt with water at 30 degrees Celsius and after 15 minutes spray at 0.2 l/m2 at the surface prepared.
Hot mix asphalt is is heated for application, which thins the material. Remember those steaming metal buckets you used to see on industrial rooftops? Cold asphalt is liquified with something else besides heat. There are two kinds: Emulsified asphalt is mixed with water and an emulsifying agent. Think of it like salad dressing that does not separate in the bottle. The other kind is called Cutback asphalt and is mixed with a petroleum solvent such as naptha, gasoline, or kerosene. They both are liquids at ambient temperature when applied; then the solvent or water evaporates, leaving the asphalt behind. Look up at asphaltinstitute.org
