Description / Abstract:
This method covers the procedure for troubleshooting asphalt
specimen volumetric differences between Superpave gyratory
compactors (SGCs) used in the design and field management of
Superpave mixtures. Evaluation of SGCs should include the SGC used
in the mix design, the SGC used for production quality control
(QC), and the SGC used for production quality assurance (QA). The
evaluation will assist in the identification of within-procedure
differences that may impact the field management of asphalt
mixtures.
This practice may involve hazardous materials, operations,
and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
