The user shouldcontact the binder manufacturer to establish appropriate mixing

39、 andcompaction temperature ranges.5.4 Preparation of Mixtures:5.4.1 Weigh into separate pans for each test specimen theamount of each size fraction required to produce a batch thatwill result in a compacted specimen 3.75 6 0.10 in.(95.2 6 2.54 mm) in height (about 4050 g). Place the pans onthe hot p

40、late or in the oven and heat to a temperature notexceeding the mixing temperature established in 5.3 by morethan approximately 50F (28C). Charge the mixing bowl withthe heated aggregate and dry mix thoroughly. Form a crater inthe dry blended aggregate and weigh the preheated requiredamount of bitumi

At this point, the temperature of theaggregate and bituminous material shall be within the limits ofthe mixing temperature established in 5.3. Mix the aggregateand bituminous materi

If themix consists of absorptive aggregate place the mix in a coveredcontainer in an oven maintained at the mixing temperature for4h.5.5 Compaction of Specimens:5.5.1 Thoroughly clean the specimen mold assembly andthe face of the compaction hammer and heat them ei

43、ther inboiling water or on the hot plate to a temperature between 200and 300F (93.3 and 148.9C). Place a piece of filter paper orpaper toweling cut to size in the bottom of the mold before themixture is introduced. Place approximately one half of thebatch in the mold, spade the mixture vigorously wi

44、th a heatedspatula or trowel 15 times around the perimeter and 10 timesover the interior. Place the second half of the batch in the moldand repeat the foregoing procedure. Remove the collar andsmooth the surface of the mix with a trowel to a slightlyrounded shape. Place a piece of filter paper or pa

45、per towelingcut to size on top of the mix. Temperatures of the mixturesimmediately prior to compaction shall be within the limits ofthe compacting temperature established in 5.3.5.5.2 Replace the collar, place the mold assembly on thecompaction pedestal in the mold holder, and unless otherwisespecif

46、ied, apply 75 blows with the mechanically operatedcompaction hammer with a free fall of 18 in. (457.2 mm).Remove the base plate and collar, and reverse and reassemblethe mold. Apply the same number of compaction blows to theface of the reversed specimen.NOTE 5It has been determined that 75 and 112 c

47、ompaction blowsapplied to a 6-in. (152.4 mm) diameter specimen using the apparatus andprocedure in this standard give densities equivalent to 50 and 75compaction blows, respectively, applied to a 4-in. (101.6 mm) diameterspecimen using Test Method D 6926.5.5.3 Cool the compacted specimens and molds

48、prior toremoval of the specimens from the molds to prevent distortion.After cooling, remove the base plate and place the sampleextractor on that end of the specimen. Place the assembly withthe extension collar up in the testing machine, apply pressure tothe collar by means of the load transfer bar,

49、and force thespecimen into the extension collar. Lift the collar from thespecimen. Carefully transfer the specimen to a smooth, flatsurface and allow it to stand overnight at room temperature.Weigh, measure, and test the specimen.NOTE 6When more rapid cooling is desired, table fans may be used.6.
