21、he bowl and sample.9.4.4 Calculate and record the dry aggregate weight by subtracting the mass in step 9.4.2 from 9.4.3.9.4.5 Place the bowl with the aggregate into the infrared unit, making certain that the notch in the front of the bowl fully engagesin the notch in the front of the metal mounting

22、plate. (Feel this with your finger at the bottom front of the bowl as placed.) Usethe ring on the bowl to securely fasten the bowl to the plate by pressing down and turning the ring 14 of a turn until tight. Next,place the top on the bowl and lightly press down to be certain it is engaged. The notch

23、 should be lined up in the front of the bowl.Then, close the lid to the infrared unit and latch in the front.9.4.6 Ensure that there is distilled water in the reservoir in the unit.9.4.7 Set the film coefficient to that determined in step 9.3.13. Press the enter button. The display will remind you t

24、o placesample in the unit. Press the start button. The system will automatically begin to determine the SSD point for the material. It willrun for 34 to 112 hours depending on the absorption of the material being tested.9.4.8 At the completion of the run, Press the OK button. Compare the film coeffi

25、cient on the display with the measured filmcoefficient for that material to be certain it was entered properly. Press the OK button.9.4.9 Open the unit; remove the lid to the bowl and store as directed by the manufacturer. Remove the bowl. Immediately placethe bowl on the balance and record the mass

26、. (See Note 7).)NOTE 7Be certain to determine the mass of the bowl immediately after removing the lid. This ensures that material is not allowed to dry.9.4.10 Determine the amount of water absorbed by subtracting the mass in step 9.4.3 from 9.4.9.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the bulk relative densi
