## How to Calculate Asphalt Tonnage
### Formula
**Volume (cu ft) = Length × Width × Thickness (in feet)**
**Weight (lbs) = Volume (cu ft) × 145 lbs/cu ft**
**Tons = Weight / 2,000**
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) weighs approximately 145 pounds per cubic foot, or about 2 tons per cubic yard. One ton of asphalt covers approximately 80 sq ft at 2 inches thick.

Lösungsbeispiel
A driveway 40 ft long and 12 ft wide with 2 inches of asphalt.
- Thickness in feet: 2 / 12 = 0.167 ft
- Area = 40 × 12 = 480 sq ft
- Volume = 40 × 12 × 0.167 = 80 cu ft
- Weight = 80 × 145 = 11,600 lbs
- Tons = 11,600 / 2,000 = 5.80 tons
