This document calculates the bitumen content for a chipping carpet (compacted bituminous mixture) using two different assumed bulk densities for the aggregate (1500 kg/m3 and 1700 kg/m3). It determines the weight of aggregate and total bitumen required based on the aggregate size and quantity scheduled. The bitumen content percentage is calculated without including the prime coat. The bitumen content percentage difference between the two assumed bulk densities is reported.
