How Much Asphalt Is in a Cubic Yard?

A cubic yard is a volume. Its asphalt weight depends on the density of the material filling that volume.

Convert cubic yards to tons →

pounds = 27 cubic feet × density in lb/ft³

Divide pounds by 2,000 to get US short tons. Because density varies by mix and compaction, use the supplier’s density when available.
