The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.5.1 It is common practice in the engineering profession toconcurrently use pounds to represent both a unit

7、of mass (lbm)and a force (lbf). This implicitly combines two separatesystems of units; that is, the absolute system and the gravita-tional system. It is scientifically undesirable to combine the useof two separate sets of inch-pound units within a singlestandard. This standard has been written using

8、 the gravitationalsystem of units when dealing with the inch-pound system. Inthis system, the pound (lbf) represents a unit of force (weight).However, the use of balances or scales recording pounds ofmass (lbm) or the recording of density in lbm/ft3shall not beregarded as a nonconformance with this

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Ref

17、 Agencies that meet thecriteria in Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/and the like. Users of thisstandard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not initself assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many fa

18、ctors;Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.4. Apparatus4.1 For PracticeA, in addition to the apparatus requirementsspecified in Test Methods D698 and D1557, the following isrequired:4.1.1 Drying OvenThermostatically controlled oven,preferably of the forced-draft type,

19、meeting the requirementsfor Specification E145 and capable of maintaining a uniformtemperature of 140 6 5F (60 6 3C) throughout the dryingchamber.4.2 For Practice B, in addition to the apparatus requirementsspecified in Test Methods D698 and D1557, the following arerequired:4.2.1 Lead Deformation Ap

20、paratusA lead deformationapparatus consisting of an anvil, guide collar, and striking pin,as shown in Fig. 1.4.2.2 MicrometerA one-inch (25-mm) outside microme-ter or caliper reading to 0.001 in. (0.02 mm), for determiningthe length of the lead cylinders. As an alternative, a one-inch(25-mm) dial co

21、mparator reading to 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) maybe used to determine either the length of the lead cylinder, orof the complete lead deformation apparatus assembly. Tomeasure the complete assembly, a dial comparator with aminimum opening of 2 in. (50 mm) is required (see Fig. 2).NOTE 2The use of vernier c

22、alipers is not recommended since thevernier calipers can produce erroneous readings if not zeroed correctly, orif the vernier caliper is not of high quality.4.2.3 Guide Sleeve PedestalA guide sleeve pedestal foruse with guide sleeves used to control the drop of the manualrammers in Test Methods D698

23、 and D1557 (see Fig. 3).4.2.4 Test CylindersA supply of commercially pure leadtest cylinders having individual weights such that the lightestcylinder is within 0.06 g of the heaviest, each having a lengthof 0.675 6 0.005 in. (17.1 6 0.1 mm) and a diameter of 0.3106 0.002 in. (7.87 6 0.05 mm).3A mini

24、mum of ten testcylinders is required for the calibration of one mechanicalcompactor. However, depending on circumstances, as many as100 test cylinders may be required.5. ProcedurePractice A5.1 Evaluate the mechanical and manual compactors forevidence of wear, malfunction, and need of servicing andad

25、justment. Clean, adjust, and lubricate the compactors so as tomeet all requirements of the manufacturer, and the applicablemethod under which they will be used and for which themechanical compactor is to be calibrated. Operate the compac-tor for a minimum of 25 drops to cause friction in the parts t

26、obecome constant, allowing the rammer to fall on soil or othersoft material.NOTE 3In order to provide satisfactory results, mechanical compac-tors must be in excellent working condition. Improper operation of theraising and release mechanisms can introduce serious errors.5.2 Obtain approximately 50

27、lb (23 kg) of soil classified asCL in accordance with Classification D2487. If excessivemoisture is present, dry the soil until it becomes friable. Dryingmay be in air or by use of a drying apparatus such that thetemperature of the sample does not exceed 140F (60C). Passthe soil through a No. 4 (4.7

28、5-mm) sieve conforming to therequirements of Specification E11. Discard any material re-maining on the sieve, and thoroughly blend the materialpassing the sieve until it is uniform. The material shall then beprepared for compaction in accordance with either MethodsD698 or D1557 as appropriate for th

29、e mechanical compactorbeing calibrated.NOTE 4The amount of soil used will vary greatly depending on thenumber of water content unit mass determinations required.5.3 Using the soil prepared in accordance with 5.2, deter-mine optimum moisture and maximum dry unit weight byMethod A of either Test Metho

30、ds D698 or D1557 or whichevermethod is appropriate for the mechanical compactor beingcalibrated. Prepare one curve using the mechanical compactorand another using the manual compactor. Record the values ofgmax, the maximum dry unit weight obtained with the manualcompactor, and g8max, the maximum dry

31、 unit weight obtainedwith the mechanical compactor.5.4 Determine W, the percentage difference of maximumdry unit weight values for a single set of data (see Section 7).If the absolute value of W is equal to or less than 2.0, themechanical compactor is satisfactory for immediate use. If theabsolute v

32、alue of W is greater than 2.0, then obtain twoadditional sets of data. Use the same soil sample, prepared inaccordance with 5.2, that was used previously. Determine W,the average percentage difference of maximum dry unit massvalues for three sets of data (see Section 7). If the absolutevalue of W is

33、 equal to or less than 2.0, the mechanicalcompactor is satisfactory for immediate use. If the absolutevalue of Wis greater than 2.0, then adjust the rammer massof the mechanical compactor in accordance with 5.5. Thensecure three new values of g8maxand compute a new value ofW. Repeat this procedure u

34、ntil the absolute value of Wis equalto or less than 2.0.5.5 Make changes in the weight of the mechanical hammerwith due consideration to good workmanship. Makeshift modi-fications that could affect the operation of the mechanicalcompactor are not permitted. The maximum permissible varia-tion in the

35、weight of the mechanical hammer as the result ofcalibration is as follows: The total mass added to the originalmass of the hammer as received from the manufacturer mustnot exceed ten percent of its original mass. If it is necessary toadd more than ten percent, The mechanical compactor is to berebuil

If the calibration indicates that the mass ofthe original rammer needs to be reduced to less than 5.5 lbf3The sole source of supply of the lead test cylinders known to the committee atthis time is Hornady Manufacturing Co., P.O. Box 1848, Grand Island, Nebr. 68801in lots of 500. If yo
