scope:
This method of test covers the determination of bulk specific gravity of specimens of compacted bituminous mixtures as defined in M 132, Terms Relating to Density and Specific Gravity of Solids, Liquids, and Gases.
This method should not be used with samples that contain open or interconnecting voids and/or absorb more than 2 percent of water by volume, as determined in Sections 5.2 or 8.2 herein.
The bulk specific gravity of the compacted bituminous mixtures may be used in calculating the unit mass of the mixture.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
