Asphalt Weight Calculator

Formula

To calculate the asphalt weight:

\[ AW = AA \cdot \frac{AD}{12} \cdot 145 \]

Where:

\( AW \) is the asphalt weight in pounds
\( AA \) is the asphalt area in square feet
\( AD \) is the asphalt depth in inches

What is Asphalt Weight?

The asphalt weight represents the total weight of the asphalt based on its area and depth. This calculation is useful in construction and paving projects to determine the amount of asphalt needed and its corresponding weight.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Asphalt Area \( AA \) = 500 ft²
Asphalt Depth \( AD \) = 4 inches

Step 1: Calculate the asphalt weight:

\[ AW = 500 \cdot \frac{4}{12} \cdot 145 = 500 \cdot 0.3333 \cdot 145 = 24,166.67 \text{ lb} \]

So, the asphalt weight is 24,166.67 lb.
