How many cubic meters of asphalt are in 1 ton?

 

How many cubic meters of asphalt are in 1 ton?

Asphalt weighs 2.243 gram per cubic centimeter or 2243 kilogram per cubic meter,

 i.e. its density is equal to 2 243 kg/m³. In Imperial or US customary measurement system, the Concrete, Asphalt density is equal to 140.025915626 pound per cubic foot [lb/ft³], or 1.296536255 ounce per cubic inch.


Re: 1ton of asphalt  = m2

Length (meters) x Width (meters) x Depth (meters) x Gmb = MT (metric tons)

 Gmb being the specific gravity of ACP from about 2.3 to 2.5 depending on your mix design. Most use 2.5

 

So, If your ACP is 1" thick=0.025 metres

Specific gravity is 2.5

Length is 10 metres

Width is 1.6 metres

 

10x1.6x0.025x2.5 = 1 metric tons

 

Area of ACP is 16 square meter
