This document describes a test method for measuring the temperature of asphalt mixtures after mixing and during storage, transportation and laying. This document includes the contact temperature-measuring device and the non-contact temperature-measuring device (infrared-thermometer). In cases of dispute, the refence method shall be using the contact temperature measuring device.

 

This document describes three test methods for characterizing the compactability of a bituminous mix, by the relation between its density or void content and the compaction energy applied to it, using an impact (Marshall) compactor, gyratory compactor, or a vibratory compactor. This document applies to bituminous mixtures, both those prepared in laboratory and those resulting sampled from plant produced mixtures. The results of the test method serve to supplement the results of mixture design.
