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

It would depend on how deep you want to lay it.

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 convert ton of asphalt to square meter?

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)


Calculate gallons of asphalt cement in a ton of asphalt?

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.


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.
