The first step is to divide the path into squares or rectangles (or another basic shape whose area is easy to calculate). $$1\,US\,short\,ton = 2000\,pounds = 0.893\,imperial\,long\,ton = 907\,kg$$įinally, you might wonder what you should do if your path is a combination of areas, like in our example. There are many options for each measurement – for example, length can be in inches (in), feet (ft), yards (yd), centimeters (cm) or meters (m).Īll you need to do is select the required units in the options and the calculator will perform the following conversions: The best thing about our asphalt calculator is that it takes care of this for you. So, you might ask: What if my measurements are in different units? You’ve likely noticed us using the units interchangeably for example, in our second example density is given in pounds per cubic feet and volume is in cubic yards. $$Price\,per\,unit\,mass =80\,lb/ft^3$$įinally, I enter the measurements as shown to calculate the total weight and cost of the paving aggregate: If you don’t know the price per unit mass/volume, calculate it using the formulas: $$Cost = Price\,per\,unit\,volume \times Volume$$ $$Cost = Price\,per\,unit\,mass \times Weight$$ If you know the cost of the asphalt per unit volume or mass, the calculator will also work out the total cost for you:
NB: Standard asphalt is 140 pounds per cubic foot. In addition, if you know the density of the asphalt, it can calculate how many tons are required:
