If you are about to take on a project that is large or small, use our free online calculator to estimate how many tons of asphalt will be needed to complete the job.
Using this tool beforehand will save both money and time, allowing you to purchase more closely to the perfect amount needed and by reducing the number of trips to the store in a scenario where you do not buy enough initially. Keep your projects moving smoothly with planning like this.
When you are using our calculator, it is an estimate that will be close to the amount needed, but not exactly correct. There are a number of factors that we cannot account for and that may be left out when you are entering values, so to keep it as simple as possible we omitted all of the other fields.
For more information about asphalt pouring and projects, you can look at this site for more specific information related to what may affect your pour and project.
Asphalt, also known as bitumen, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It is commonly used as a binder in road construction to create asphalt concrete.
Asphalt is preferred for road construction due to its durability, smoothness, ability to withstand heavy traffic loads, and ease of maintenance.
The amount of asphalt required depends on factors such as the dimensions of the area to be paved (length, width, thickness), the type of asphalt mix used, and local climate conditions.
The asphalt calculator uses standard density values and assumes a uniform thickness. It provides a good estimate based on typical conditions. For precise calculations, consult with a professional engineer or asphalt supplier.
