To calculate the amount of hot mix asphalt needed for a 20'x60' area at a thickness of 4 inches, first convert the dimensions to feet: 20 feet x 60 feet = 1,200 square feet. Next, convert the thickness from inches to feet: 4 inches = 4/12 = 0.33 feet. The volume of asphalt required is then calculated as volume = area x thickness, or 1,200 sq ft x 0.33 ft = 396 cubic feet. Finally, convert cubic feet to tons using the density of hot mix asphalt, which is typically around 145 lbs per cubic foot; thus, 396 cubic feet x 145 lbs/cubic foot = 57,420 lbs, or approximately 28.7 tons.

What is the SQ YDS of asphalt at 3 inches thick?

To calculate the square yards (SQ YDS) of asphalt at 3 inches thick, you first need to convert the thickness from inches to feet, which is 0.25 feet. The volume of asphalt in cubic feet can then be calculated by multiplying the area in square feet by the thickness in feet. Since 1 square yard equals 9 square feet, you can use this conversion to determine the total area in square yards needed based on the total volume of asphalt required. For specific calculations, you would need the total volume in cubic feet or the area to be paved.


How many square feet in a ton of asphalt?

The amount of square feet in a ton of asphalt will depend on the thickness of the asphalt. If the asphalt is three inches thick it will have to cover the area three times. The type of asphalt used is also a factor towards weight.

How many ton of asphalt would you need for 8388 sq ft if its 2 inches thick?

To calculate the amount of asphalt needed for an area of 8,388 square feet at a thickness of 2 inches, first convert the thickness to feet: 2 inches is approximately 0.167 feet. Multiply the area by the thickness: 8,388 sq ft × 0.167 ft = 1,399.596 cubic feet. Since asphalt weighs about 145 pounds per cubic foot, the total weight is approximately 202,000 pounds, or about 101 tons.

How many square feet does 1 ton of asphalt cover at 2 inches?

As a rule of thumb, 0.112 tons of asphalt (2" thick) will cover 1 square yard or 9 square feet. Thus 1 tone of asphalt (2" thick) will cover 8.93 square yards or 80.36 square feet. ------------------------------- Another (possibly more accurate) way of doing this is to use standards 1 ton [long, UK] = 2240 pounds Density of compacted Asphalt = 147 pounds per cubic foot (1728 cubic inches) 12 inches times 12 inches times 2 inches = 288 cubic inches Thus the weight of 288 cubic inches of compacted asphalt will be (288/1728)* 147 = 24.5 pounds. Therefore a tone of asphalt will cover 2240/24.5 = 91.43 square feet to a depth of 2 inches.
