Should I order extra asphalt beyond the calculated amount?
What formulas are used in the asphalt calculator?
Area Calculation:
• Rectangle: Area = Length × Width
• Circle: Area = π × Radius²
Volume Calculation:
• Imperial: Volume (ft³) = Area (ft²) × Thickness (inches) ÷ 12
• Metric: Volume (m³) = Area (m²) × Thickness (cm) ÷ 100
Weight Calculation:
• Weight = Volume × Compacted Density
Cost Calculation:
• Total Cost = Weight (tons) × Price per ton
