18 cubic yards of milled asphalt weighs approximately 34 to 41 tons.
Milled asphalt, also known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), typically weighs between 1.9 to 2.3 tons per cubic yard. The exact weight depends on the density of the material, which can vary based on the original asphalt mix and the milling process. For 18 cubic yards, the total weight would range from 34.2 to 41.4 tons.
Weight of milled asphalt per cubic yard
- Standard density: 2.0 tons per cubic yard
- Light density (fine RAP): 1.9 tons per cubic yard
- Heavy density (coarse RAP): 2.3 tons per cubic yard
Comparison table: Tons per cubic yard for different asphalt materials
| Material | Tons per cubic yard | 18 cubic yards weight |
|---|---|---|
| Milled asphalt (RAP) | 1.9 - 2.3 | 34.2 - 41.4 tons |
| Hot mix asphalt | 2.0 - 2.5 | 36 - 45 tons |
| Cold mix asphalt | 1.8 - 2.2 | 32.4 - 39.6 tons |
Factors affecting milled asphalt weight
- Aggregate size and type
- Moisture content
- Compaction level
- Age of the original pavement
