Mineral-surfaced roll roofing

Its weight

The table
110 lb a squareThe sources give 100 to 222 lb.
Loose volume
Not known: it counts in the tons aloneNo source found gives a loose volume for torn-off roll roofing.
How it was chosen
Mid-States Asphalt's mineral-surfaced roll weighs 110 lb a square; ASCE 7 gives three-ply ready roofing 1 psf. Xactimate disposes of a torn-off square at 222 lb (9 squares a ton); its definition does not say what else that counts, so it stands as the high end.
