Asphalt Yield Calculator

Calculate Asphalt Yield



Formula

To calculate the Asphalt Yield:

\[ \text{AY} = \frac{\text{WA}}{\text{D}} \]

What is Asphalt Yield?

Asphalt yield is a measure of the volume of compacted asphalt produced from a given weight of asphalt. It is calculated by dividing the weight of the asphalt by its density when compacted. This measure is crucial in construction and roadwork for determining how much asphalt is needed for a given area.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{AY} = \frac{2000}{145} \]

The Asphalt Yield is approximately 13.79 ft3.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{AY} = \frac{3000}{150} \]

The Asphalt Yield is approximately 20.00 ft3.
