Asphalt Paver Speed and Production Rate
Tons per hour and lane-feet per hour a paver lays at a given screed width, depth, and forward speed, with the daily output - the production the asphalt-tonnage takeoff assumes and that sizes the plant delivery and truck rotation.
Formula and source
tons_per_hour = speed x working_min x width x (depth/12) x density / 2000; lane_ft_per_hour = speed x working_min; daily = hourly x hours.
Paving production identity by name (production = laydown area rate x compacted density); NAPA laydown-rate practice.
