# Asphalt Pro Calc - Hot Mix Asphalt Calculator & Paving Guide

> Professional hot mix asphalt (HMA) tonnage, volume, and cost calculator for paving contractors, civil engineers, estimators, and homeowners.

## Overview
Asphalt Pro Calc (https://asphaltprocalc.netlify.app/) is a free, browser-based civil engineering and asphalt paving estimator. It calculates exact asphalt material requirements in US Customary Tons, Metric Tonnes, Cubic Yards, and Cubic Meters, along with delivery dump truck load requirements and project budget planning.

## Key Formulas & Density Constants
- Compacted Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Density: 145 lbs/cu ft (2,323 kg/m³)
- Compacted Asphalt Yield Factor: 2.025 US Tons per Cubic Yard (0.0725 US Tons per Sq Yd per inch of compacted depth)
- Imperial Tonnage Formula: Tons = [Area (sq ft) × Depth (inches) / 12] × 145 / 2000
- Quick Imperial Tonnage Rule: Tons = Area (sq ft) × Depth (inches) / 160
- Waste Factor Adjustment: Total Tons = Raw Tons × (1 + Waste Percentage / 100)
- Standard Dump Truck Capacity: 20 US Tons (Tri-axle load)
