This calculator helps you determine the batch size (in pounds) for asphalt mixing based on the total dry weight and proportions of binder, coarse aggregate, and fine aggregate.
Asphalt Batch Size Calculator
- Total Dry Weight (lbs): This is the total dry weight of aggregate (coarse + fine) in the mix design. It does not include the weight of the asphalt binder.
- Binder Proportion (%): This is the percentage of asphalt binder, by weight, in the total mix. For example, if the design calls for 6% binder.
- Coarse Aggregate Proportion (%): This is the percentage of coarse aggregate (larger stones), by weight, relative to the total aggregate (coarse + fine).
- Fine Aggregate Proportion (%): This is the percentage of fine aggregate (sand), by weight, relative to the total aggregate.
