Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 bulk densityas determined by this test method, themass of a metre cubed (or foot cubed) of the material at 25C(77F).3.1.2 bulk specific gravityas determined by this testmethod, the ratio of the mass of a given

9、volume of material at25C to the mass of an equal volume of water at the sametemperature.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The specimen is immersed in a water bath at 25C(77F). The mass under water is recorded, and the specimen istaken out of the water, blotted quickly with a damp cloth towel,and weighed

10、in air. The difference between the two masses isused to measure the mass of an equal volume of water at 25C.4.2 This test method provides guidance for determination ofthe oven dry or thoroughly dry mass of the specimen. The bulkspecific gravity is calculated from these masses. Then thedensity is obt

11、ained by multiplying the specific gravity of thespecimen by the density of the water.5. Significance and Use5.1 The results obtained from this test method can be usedto determine the unit weight of compacted dense bituminousmixtures and in conjunction with Test Method D3203, to obtainpercent air voi

12、ds. These values in turn may be used indetermining the relative degree of compaction.5.2 Since specific gravity has no units, it must be convertedto density in order to do calculations that require units. Thisconversion is made by multiplying the specific gravity at agiven temperature by the density

13、 of water at the same tempera-ture.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.21 onSpecific Gravity and Density of Bituminous Mixtures.Current edition approved June 1, 2010.

16、n accordance with Practice D3666.6. Apparatus6.1 Balance, with ample capacity, and with sufficient sensi-tivity to enable bulk specific gravities of the specimens to becalculated to at least four significant figures, that is, to at leastthree decimal places. It shall be equipped with a suitableappar

17、atus to permit weighing the specimen while suspended inwater. To avoid erroneous readings by undue displacement ofwater, use wire or fish line of the smallest practical size tosuspend the specimen and holder. Do not use chains, strings, orsash cords. The balance shall conform to Guide D4753 as aClas

18、s GP2 balance.NOTE 2Since there are no more significant figures in the quotient(bulk specific gravity) than appear in either the dividend (the mass of thespecimen in air) or in the divisor (the mass of the volume of water equalto the volume of the specimen, obtained from the difference in weight oft

19、he saturated surface-dry specimen in air and in water), this means that thebalance must have a sensitivity capable of providing both mass values toat least four figures. For example, a sensitivity of 0.1 g would provide foursignificant figures for mass in the range from 100.1 to 999.9 g.6.2 Water Ba

20、th, capable of maintaining a temperature of 256 1C (77 6 1.8F) for immersing the specimen in water whilesuspended, equipped with an overflow outlet for maintaining aconstant water level. The use of an overflow outlet is manda-tory.NOTE 3The water bath does not need to be a sophisticated device.Any m

21、ethod that maintains 25C 6 1C can be used including tempering,aquarium heaters, stirrers, or other devices.6.3 Calibration or standardization requirements of the appa-ratus used in this test, including balance, temperature indicat-ing devices and drying apparatus shall be in accordance withthe requi

22、rements in Practice D3666.7. Sampling7.1 Specimens may be either laboratory-molded bituminousmixtures or from bituminous pavements.7.2 Obtain field samples in accordance with Practice D979.7.3 Pavement specimens shall be taken from pavementswith a core drill, diamond or a carborundum saw, or by othe

23、rsuitable means, in accordance with Practice D5361.8. Test Specimens8.1 Size of SpecimensIt is recommended (1) that thediameter of cyclindrically molded or cored specimens, or thelength of the sides of sawed specimens, be at least equal to fourtimes the maximum size of the aggregate; and (2) that th

24、ethickness of specimens be at least one and one half times themaximum size of the aggregate.8.2 Care shall be taken to avoid distortion, bending, orcracking of specimens during and after removal from pave-ments or mold. Specimens shall be stored in a safe, cool place.8.3 Specimens shall be free of f

25、oreign materials such as sealcoat, tack coat, foundation material, soil, paper, or foil. Whenany of these materials are visually evident, they shall beremoved by sawing. Wire brushing to remove paper, soil, andfoil is acceptable if all traces of the materials are eliminated.8.4 If desired, specimens

26、 may be separated from otherpavement layers by sawing or other satisfactory means.9. Procedure9.1 For Cores and for Other Specimens that May ContainMoisture or SolventOnly specimens that are known to bethoroughly dry (that is, laboratory-prepared dried specimens),are to be tested in accordance with

27、9.2. All others are assumedto contain moisture or solvent and are to be tested in accor-dance with 9.1. The sequence of testing for 9.1 is: in water,saturated-surface dry, dry.9.1.1 Mass of Specimen in WaterCompletely submergethe specimen in the water bath at 25 6 1C (77 6 1.8F) for3 to 5 min then d

28、etermine the mass by weighing in water.Designate this mass as C. If the temperature of the specimendiffers from the temperature of the water bath by more than2C (3.6F), the specimen shall be immersed in the water bathfor 10 to 15 min, instead of 3 to 5 min.9.1.2 Mass of Saturated Surface-Dry Specime

29、n in AirSurface dry the specimen by blotting quickly with a damp clothtowel and then determine the mass by weighing in air.Designate this mass as B.9.1.3 After determining the mass in water and in a saturated-surface dry condition, thoroughly dry the specimen to aconstant mass at 110 6 5C (230 6 9F)

30、. Allow the specimento cool and weigh in air. Designate this mass as A. Othermethods may be used to dry the specimen as long as a constantmass is achieved (mass repeats within 0.1 %).NOTE 4Drying the specimen at the required temperature of 110C(230F) will change the characteristics and shape of the

31、specimen. Thiswill make the specimen unsuitable for further testing. Drying thespecimen at a reduced temperature such as 52C (125F), in order to keepit intact, will not meet the requirements of this test method.9.1.3.1 Practice D7227, microwave drying or other ap-proved methods may be used to dry th

32、e specimen if thespecimen is not over-heated and documentation exists showingthat the results are equivalent to oven drying. The interval oftime between readings to determine constant mass must besufficient to ensure that all moisture and solvent has beenremoved. This interval is dependent on the si

33、ze of the specimenand can be determined by experimentation and confirmed withthe oven-dried comparisons. Documentation must exist tovalidate the intervals.9.2 For Laboratory-Prepared Thoroughly Dry Specimens:9.2.1 Mass of Dry Specimen in AirDetermine the mass byweighing the specimen after it has bee

34、n standing in air at roomtemperature for at least 1 h. Designate this mass as A.9.2.2 Mass of Specimen in WaterUse the same procedureas described in 9.1.1.9.2.3 Mass of Saturated Surface-Dry Specimen in AirSurface dry the specimen by blotting quickly with a damp clothtowel and then determine the mas

35、s by weighing in air.Designate this mass as B.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the bulk specific gravity of the specimen asfollows:Bulk sp gr 5 A/B 2 C!

36、ated surface-dry specimen in air,g; andC = mass of the specimen in water, g.10.2 Calculate the density of the specimen as follows:Density 5 Bulk sp gr 3 997.0 or 62.24! (2)where:997.0 = density of water in kg/m3at 25C (0.9970 g/cm3)10.3 Calculate the percent water absorbed by the specimen(on volume
