Volume to tonnage
| Volume | Dense HMA | RAP millings | Crushed stone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ft³ | 0.0725 tons | 0.0625 tons | 0.0525 tons |
| 1 cubic yard | 1.96 tons | 1.69 tons | 1.42 tons |

| 100 m³ | 232.3 t | 200.2 t | 168.2 t |
Formulas
cubic yards = ft³ ÷ 27
m³ = ft³ × 0.0283168
ft³ = m³ × 35.3147
tons = ft³ × density ÷ 2,000
m³ = ft³ × 0.0283168
ft³ = m³ × 35.3147
tons = ft³ × density ÷ 2,000
