15、ight ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States14.2 This practice covers drying compacted asphalt mixture specimens in a vacuum chamber that is capable of keeping thespecimen at close to room temperature.Avacuum pump reduces the pressure i

16、nside the chamber, thus allowing water to evaporateat low temperature. Since the specimen naturally cools during the evaporation process, making water harder to evaporate, it isimportant to have proper temperature controls in the chamber to ensure the specimen remains at close to room temperature.Au

17、tomatic controls within the unit allow the specimen to remain at close to room temperature by periodically allowing a flow ofwarm air to enter the vacuum chamber. Cycling between vacuum and airflow conditions allows the specimen to dry in a shortperiod of time. Completely saturated specimens with ov

18、er 30 g 0.07 lb of retained water can be dried in about 30 minutes.min.For most field cores that are not completely saturated, the drying time is generally less than 15 minutes. 15 min.NOTE 1Cycle time (period) can depend on the material composition. Each cycle involves an alternating period of 30 t

19、o 180 secondss of vacuumoperation and 30 to 120 secondss of air flow.4.3 This method can be used for 100 mm 4 in. diameter, 150 mm 6 in. diameter cylindrical, and cubical compactedbituminous asphalt mixture specimens.4.4 This method can also be used for drying loose asphalt mixtures, aggregate sampl

20、es, and other solid specimens. Followmanufacturers the manufacturers recommended procedures for drying specimens other than compacted bituminous asphaltmixture specimens.4.5 This method can be used to determine moisture content and amount of water loss during drying by weighing the samplebefore and

21、after the drying operations.NOTE 2The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and thecapability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification D3666 are generally

22、 considered capableof competent and objective testing, sampling, inspection, etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Specification D3666 alone doesnot completely ensure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; following the suggestions of Specification D3666

23、or some similaracceptable guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.FIG. 1 Water Removal Plate and Sample Holder Installed in Sample ChamberD7227/D7227M 1725. Apparatus5.1 Absorptive Cloth or Paper Towels, Absorptive cloth or paper towels, for drying water from s

The chamber shall be large enough to accommodate specimens of 150 mm 6 in. width or diameterand 180 mm 7 in. in height. The device sh

25、all have an automatic vacuum, airflow, and temperature control features to ensureproper drying of the specimen at close to room temperatures.Automatic controls of the unit shall be calibrated by the manufacturerprior to initial use. The device shall have the capability to display vacuum readings in

Sampling6.1 Test specimens may be molded from laboratory prepared laboratory-prepared specimens or taken from the pavement in thefield. Field specimens should be obtained in accordance with Practice D5361.7. Test

28、 Specimen7.1 To speed up the drying process, keep and maintain the specimens to be dried between 15 C and 30C 60F and85F.15 C and 30 C 60 F and 85 F.7.2 If desired, specimens may be separated from other pavement layers in accordance with Practice D5361.8. Procedure8.1 Turn On the Unit: UnitPlug the

29、unit in a power outlet and turn on the on/off switch. Follow manufacturers themanufacturers recommendations for warm up and self test procedures.8.2 Daily Test: Test EverydayEvery day before starting the testing operation, dry the cold trap and the specimen chamber. Runthe unit without any specimens

30、. The pressure reading on the display should be 6 mm Hg.Hg 6 Torr or less. If the indicatedpressure is higher than 6 mm.mm Hg 6 Torr, check the system for items that might need service, such as oil level and quality,seals, or water in the chamber. Refer to the manufacturers trouble shooting troubles

31、hooting instructions for obtaining a properpressure reading in the chamber. For drying other construction materials, follow the manufacturers recommendations for pressurerequirements in the chamber.8.3 Drying Specimens: SpecimensUse a handheld infrared thermometer to ensure that the surface temperat

32、ure of the specimenis between 15C15 C and 30C 60F30 C 60 F and 85F.85 F. If the specimen is below 15C 60F15 C 60 F or above30C 85F,30 C 85 F, place the specimens in a room temperature environment until the surface temperature approaches therequired testing temperature of 15C15 C to 30C 60F30 C 60 F

33、and 85F.85 F.8.3.1 Use paper towel or an absorptive cloth to remove any standing water from the surface of the specimen.8.3.2 Place the specimen on top of the specimen support plate inside the chamber.8.3.3 Place the lid on the vacuum chamber and press the lid down to ensure secure contact between t

34、he lid and the chamber.Press the appropriate key, for example the Start key, to begin the drying process.8.3.4 When the specimen is dry, the unit will automatically stop. The unit is calibrated at the factory to sense a “dry specimencondition”.condition.” Dry specimen condition is determined at the

35、factory for the pressure at which no water remains in thechamber. During testing, the unit continuously reads the pressure inside the chamber and checks this pressure against the “dryspecimen condition” pressure determined during factory calibration. Follow manufacturers procedure for calibrating th

36、e deviceto dry specimen condition.NOTE 3Sample is considered dry when the measured weight after vacuum drying process is 0.1% or less of 24-hour24-h oven drying at 50C 122F.50 C 122 F.8.4 Electronic Cold Trap: TrapLiquid and ice, or both, will accumulate in the cold trap as specimens are drying. Bet

37、weendrying specimens and for faster drying, it is best to remove the cold trap lid and the airflow divider plate and wipe out any freestanding water in the cold trap. Always place the divider back into the cold trap before drying the next specimen.9. Report9.1 Report the following information:9.1.1

38、At the end of the drying process, report the ending pressure in mm Hg Torr, and total number of cycles displayed onthe screen. This information may be used by the manufacturer or the user for trouble shooting the device, if needed.D7227/D7227M 173ASTM International takes no position respecting the v
