Weight is calculated from volume and density at the reference temperature, then adjusted for temperature and solids content. For transport, use the producer’s typical density (often near water-based ranges but dependent on asphalt content) and include freeboard, slosh, and surge factors. For storage tanks, also consider maximum fill level, pump suction head, and the heavier residue fraction settling risk. Engineers typically size secondary containment by full tank volume and use mass calculations to confirm axle loads, crane lifts, and structural slab loading.
