Density Method

Uses the formula: (L × W × D/12 × Density) ÷ 2000

More accurate for specific asphalt mixes. Recommended for contractors and professional projects where exact density is known.

Asphalt Density (lbs/ft³)

lbs/ft³

About Asphalt Density: The default value of 145 lbs/ft³ is typical for hot mix asphalt.

Common ranges:

Dense-graded hot mix: 140-150 lbs/ft³
Stone matrix asphalt: 135-145 lbs/ft³
Open-graded friction course: 120-135 lbs/ft³

Apply Compaction Factor

What is Compaction Factor? When asphalt is laid, it needs to be compacted to achieve proper density. The compaction factor accounts for the additional material needed to achieve the desired finished thickness after compaction. A typical factor is 10%, meaning you'll need about 10% more material to achieve your target depth after compaction.
