Bitumen Calculator
Calculate bitumen quantity for roads, roofing, and waterproofing applications
Road / Pavement Construction
%
Typical bitumen content: 4-6% of mix weight for asphalt concrete
Roofing / Flat Roof
Torch-on membrane: 1.5-2.5 kg/m² | Self-adhesive: 1-1.5 kg/m²
Waterproofing / Tanking
coats
Bituminous waterproofing: 1-2 coats at 1-2 kg/m² per coat
Prime Coat / Tack Coat
Prime coat: 0.5-1.0 kg/m² | Tack coat: 0.2-0.5 kg/m²

Conversion Factors
- 1 tonne = 1000 kg
- 1 m³ ≈ 1.03 tonnes (density 1030 kg/m³)
- 1 kg/m² = 0.2048 lb/ft²
- 1 m² = 10.764 ft²
- 1 km of road (7m wide, 50mm thick) ≈ 450-550 tonnes
