Accurately calculating hotmix asphalt tonnage prevents costly material shortfalls or excess asphalt cooling down and going to waste. Master the standard formula used by civil engineers to order the exact tonnage required for your paving project.
The Standard Asphalt Tonnage Formula
Tonnage (Tons) = Area (m²) × Compacted Thickness (m) × Density (Tons/m³) × Waste Factor (1.03 - 1.05)
