Terminology3.1 Definitions: For definitions specific to this standard referto Terminology D653.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 field apparent specific gravitythe ratio of the massin air of a unit volume of impermeable rock or man-madematerial, to the mass

9、 of an equal volume of water. This issimilar to the definition of apparent specific gravity in Termi-nology D653 except that non-distilled water is used for the testand the test can be run under a variety of temperatures.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A specimen (block, chunk, slab, or piece) of rock

10、ormanmade material is weighed in air and then weighed againwhile immersed in water. Using the masses, the field specificgravity is calculated. The determined specific gravity can thenbe used to determine a mass per unit volume.5. Significance and Use5.1 Specific gravity is one factor used to determi

15、 dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it andthe suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing. Users of this test method are cautioned thatcompliance with D3740

16、does not in itself ensure reliable testing. Reliabletesting depends on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means ofevaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 BalanceA balance or scale conforming to the require-ments of Specification D4753 readable (with no estimation) to1 % or better of th

17、e mass of the test specimen and which hasprovisions for attaching to a specimen container. For massesover 50 kg a load-cell, spring scale, or some other deviceaccurate to within 1 % of the mass may be used.6.2 Specimen ContainerA wire basket or sling or pan tobe attached to the scale and capable of

18、holding the specimenand suspending it in water.6.3 Water bathA vessel filled with a volume of waterlarge enough to submerge the specimen container withouttouching any of the vessels sides.6.4 An example apparatus is shown in Fig. 1.7. Sampling7.1 A source of rock to be sampled shall be guided byPrac

19、tice D4992. A source that is macroscopically uniform incolor, texture, mineralogy, or some other visual property shallbe represented by a sample consisting of a minimum of fivespecimens of rock. A macroscopically nonuniform source shallbe represented by a minimum of eight samples of rock.7.2 Rock ty

20、pes that comprise less than 5 % of the totalsource, as determined from their macroscopic properties, maybe ignored, unless their presence will greatly affect the testresults and subsequent proposed use of the rock.7.3 Sample the rock or man-made material types in theirapproximate proportion to the t

21、ypes that occur at the source.8. Specimens8.1 Specimens shall be clean and without any soil particlesor other materials adhering to them that will affect the testresults. Washing of the specimens followed by air drying maybe necessary.8.2 Air dry specimens until all surfaces are visually dry.8.3 Eac

22、h specimen shall be a minimum of 2.3 kg (5 lb) inmass. The maximum mass shall be limited only by the size ofthe scale and water-filled tank. Small pieces of rock shall becombined to produce a specimen having a minimum of 2.3-kgmass for weighing.NOTE 2Evaluation of the properties of rock is best perf

23、ormed bytesting the largest possible specimens.9. Procedure9.1 Perform the test in the field at any temperature above thefreezing temperature of water.9.2 Determine the air-dry mass of each specimen and recordits mass to the nearest 1 %.9.3 Determine the tare value of the specimen containerwhile the

24、 container is immersed in water without the specimen.9.4 Place each specimen in the specimen container andimmerse it completely in water.9.5 Determine the mass of each specimen while immersedin water and record the mass to the nearest 1 %. The specimencontainer shall be immersed to the same level (d

31、.12. Precision and Bias312.1 PrecisionThe following estimates of precision arebased on the results of testing conducted by six laboratories onfive different kinds of dolomite and limestone.12.1.1 Single-Operator PrecisionThe single-operatorstandard deviation of a single test result has been found to

32、 be0.008.4Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests bythe same operator should not differ by more than 0.02.412.1.2 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratorystandard deviation of a single test result has been found to be0.027.4Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests indifferen

33、t laboratories on the same material should not differ bymore than 0.08.412.2 BiasThere is no accepted reference value for this testmethod; therefore, bias cannot be determined.13.
