how many cubic feet in a ton of asphalt millings

The number of cubic feet in a ton of asphalt millings depends on the density of the millings. Here’s how to calculate it:

Key Conversion Factors:
1. 1 ton = 2,000 lbs
2. Density of asphalt millings: Typicallynges from 110 to 140 lbs/ft³ (varies based on compaction and moisture content).

Calculation:
\[
\text{Cubic Feet} = \frac{\text{Weight (lbs)}}{\text{Density (lbs/ft³)}}
\]

For 1 ton (2,000 lbs):
– If density = 120 lbs/ft³ (average estimate):
\[
\frac{2,000 \, \text{lbs}}{120 \, \text{lbs/ft³}} ≈ 16.67 \, \text{ft³}
\]
– If density = 140 lbs/ft³ (more compacted):
\[
\frac{2,000}{140} ≈ 14.29 \, \text{ft³}
\]
– If density = 110 lbs/ft³ (less compacted):
\[
\frac{2,000}{110} ≈ 18.18 \, \text{ft³}
\]

Final Answer:
On average, 1 ton of asphalt millings ≈ 14–18 cubic feet, depending on compaction and moisture.

For precise calculations, check the actual density from your supplier or perform a field test.
