Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This tes

3、t method covers the procedures for determiningthe in-place density and relative compaction of bituminousconcrete pavement paving mixtures by an electromagneticsurface contact device by measuring changes in the electro-magnetic field resulting from the compaction process.1.2 The equipment referenced

4、in this method is a surfacecontact device, which must accommodate surface moisture andtemperature variation in the range typically encountered inpaving applications. This can be accomplished by designparameters that reduce the devices sensitivity to surfacemoisture and temperature variation or by me

5、asurements andalgorithms to account for surface moisture and temperaturevariance in the rolling pattern.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and

Significance and Use3.1 The test method described is useful as a rapid, nonde-structive technique for determining the in-place density orrelative compaction of

9、compacted bituminous mixtures.3.2 The test method can be used to establish the properrolling effort and pattern to achieve the required density.3.3 The non-destructive nature of the test allows repetitivemeasurements to be made at a single test location betweenroller passes or at multiple locations

10、across the mat to monitorchanges in density.3.4 The density results obtained by this test method arerelative. Device calibration (correlation with other test meth-ods) is required to convert the results obtained using thismethod to actual density. Section 6 of this test methoddescribes a method that

11、 has proven to be acceptable forcorrelation.NOTE 1The personnel and equipment used in performing this test canbe evaluated in accordance with Specification D 3666.NOTE 2Research and evaluation of devices used in this test methodhas been conducted.

Interferences4.1 Electromagnetic force fields such as high-tension powerlines, or large metal objects in close proximity may interferewith the device reading.4.2 The chemical composition

13、 of the material being testedmay significantly affect the measurement and adjustments maybe necessary.

17、 andthe density of the material. In general, the higher the densitythe smaller the volume ( see Note 3).NOTE 3The volume of field compacted material represented by a testcan effectively be increased by repeating the test at adjacent locations andaveraging the results.5.

Calibration6.1 Calibrate the device for each mixture prior to perform-ing tests on th

22、at particular mixture.6.2 Record the calibration method used and the specificvalues obtained for future use of the device on the same typeof material.6.3 The calibration must be conducted on the mat within themat temperature range that will be encountered during subse-quent testing.6.4 The core cali

23、bration allows the device to be offset to aspecific density measured using Test Method D 1188, TestMethod D 2726, or Test Method D 6752.6.4.1 Identify three to ten test locations within a 3-meter(10-ft) length in the direction of the paving train on the mat.6.4.2 At each location take a minimum of f

25、 Practice D 5361 and proceed with theappropriate test method for determining the bulk specificgravity of the compacted specimen.6.4.5 Average all device readings.Average all core measure-ments.

26、ived instep 6.4.5.7. Procedure of Operation7.1 The device should be turned on sufficiently in advanceof taking any readings to allow the device to stabilize.7.2 Standardize the device using the manufacturers proce-dures as described in the device operation manual.7.3 Select a test location in accord

27、ance with the projectspecifications, or, if not otherwise specified, in accordance withPractice D 3665.7.4 Ensure that no sources of electromagnetic interferencesuch as high-tension power lines or large metal objects are nearthe immediate vicinity of the device.7.5 For best results, avoid surfaces w

28、ith large temperatureextremes.7.6 The following procedure may be used to determine therequired number of roller passes:7.6.1 Measure and record readings on the un-compactedmixture exiting the screed.7.6.2 After each roller pass, measure and record the com-paction readings.7.6.3 When the measurements

29、 no longer increase or fallback with additional roller passes, record this reading and thenumber of passes.7.6.4 Repeat steps 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 after each roller typewhere compaction is to be monitored.7.7 The following procedure may be used for taking mea-surements on one or more pavement locations:7

30、.7.1 Select a smooth surface with no excess water (rollerwater is acceptable). Brush the surface clear of any sand orstones, which would prevent contact between the surface andthe measuring device. The optimum condition for generaltesting would be a smooth surface, with total contact betweenthe bott

31、om surface of the device and the surface being tested.Optimum calibration conditions are the same as above includ-ing recommendations from the device manufacturer withrespect to pavement moisture.7.7.2 Ensure the device is calibrated for the site conditionsand bituminous mix being placed in accordan

If necessary,rotate the device to gain the maximum contact and eliminateany rocking or high points in the contact area.7.7.4 For multiple testing and averaging f

33、or a specificlocation, follow the device manufacturers recommendation forplacing the device on the mat.7.7.5 If profiling the pavement surface, measure and recordeach reading. Compare the individual readings to observableirregularities in the mat that may establish or identify segrega-tion, uniformi

34、ty or texture issues.7.7.6 After initiating a test, the operator must move awayfrom the device for a minimum distance of 30 cm (1 ft).D7113052NOTE 5Do not place the device on a hot surface unless you areconducting measurements. Prolonged high temperatures may adverselyaffect the devices electronics.

35、 The device should be allowed to coolbetween measurements.8. Report8.1 Immediately after taking the density reading(s), recordthe following data:8.1.1 Job site identification and the test site location data,such as station number, offset from centerline, and so forth, inaccordance with locally-estab

36、lished conventions.8.1.2 Device calibration data as specified in Section 6.8.1.3 Individual density readings at each measured pointwithin a test location to the nearest 0.001 g/cc, together withthe calculated average density value for the location.8.1.4 Corresponding density data (if taken) from alt

37、ernativemethods for each test location to the nearest 0.001 g/cc. Suchdata may be from nuclear gage or core sample methods.8.1.5 Notation of any qualitative observations of testing ormaterial conditions that may affect the accuracy or interpreta-tion of the test results.8.1.6 Temperature of the bitu

38、minous mat at the time of thereading, to the nearest 0.5 C, if taken.8.1.7 Dated signature by the test operator.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Precision: The within-laboratory repeatability standarddeviation has been determined to be 0.15, based on 4 labs, 30test replicates and 6 different samples. The be

39、tween-laboratoryreproducibility of this test method is being determined and willbe available on or before January 2009. Therefore, thisstandard should not be used for acceptance or rejection of amaterial for purchasing purposes.9.2 Bias: Due to the variability in materials and constructionpractices,

40、 there is no consensus as to the most accurate testmethod for measurement of density against which this test canbe compared. Accordingly, a statement of method bias cannotbe made.NOTE 6The above noted repeatability study was conducted using twobrands of electromagnetic sensing devices.NOTE 7With reg

41、ards to the bias statement above, any user may electto conduct a comparison of these devices related to the laboratorymeasured value from core samples. Device measurements should be takendirectly on the location of the pavement where cores will be cut.10. Keywords10.1 bituminous-concrete density; de
