PRM 11 - VOLUME CALCULATION NS-50/60
For example, this is used to determine the volume of paving material.
For a given lane width, thickness of material and the distance; a volume
is computed. Insure the instrument is in the COUNT/HOLD mode.

PRM 12 - COST CALCULATION NS-50/60
This is used to estimate the cost of material for a job, the volume is cal-
culated as in PRM 11 and then is multiplied by a cost/cu yd or cost/cu
m. This yields a cost for the volume of material used. Insure instrument
is in COUNT/HOLD mode.

PRM 13 - TONNAGE CALCULATION NS-50/60
This is used to estimate the amount of material for a project, the vol-
ume is calculated as in PRM 11 and then is multiplied by lb/cu yd or
kg/cu m. This yields an estimate of the number of tons of material
needed. Insure instrument is in COUNT/HOLD mode.
Press PRM, 13, MARK/ENTR.

If material density given in lb/sq yd * in
multiply by 36 to get lb/cu yd. If in kg/sq m *

~RESULT~
FILL Distance * width * thickness * density = mass
result in tons (metric or English).

PRM 14 - TONNAGE COST NS-50/60
This is used to estimate the cost of material for a job, the volume is cal-
culated as in PRM 11 and then is multiplied by lb/cu yd or kg/cu m.
This yields an estimate of the number of tons of material needed. Then
you input a cost/ton value. Insure instrument is in COUNT/HOLD mode.
Press PRM, 14, MARK/ENTR.

Depress MARK/ENTR key after each entry and press MARK/ENTR
again to exit this calculation. --- The NITESTAR will remember your
inputs so you won’t have to input the constants such as lane width or
cost each time. When the result is displayed it will stay until you press
the MARK/ENTR key. After that the original distance is restored.
