3、6 1. SCOPE 1.1. This method covers the determination of the degree of particle coating in an asphalt mix on the basis of the percentage of coarse aggregate particles that are completely coated. Determination of the percentage of coated particles for varying mixing times may be used to establish the

4、least mixing time required to produce satisfactory coating of the aggregate for a given set of conditions. This test method applies to mixtures containing aggregate of a nominal maximum aggregate size less than 38 mm (11/2in.). 1.2. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 2

Samples should be taken at the asphalt mixing plant, immediately after dis

9、charge from the plant, using the most appropriate sampling location and sampling procedure according to T 168. 4.5. The amount of material required to perform the test is approximately 2.3 to 3.6 kg (5 to 8 lb). 5. PROCEDURE 5.1. Sieve each material immediately, while it is still hot, on a 9.5-mm (3

10、/8-in.) sieve for materials with a maximum size larger than 9.5 mm (3/8in.). For materials with a maximum size of 9.5 mm (3/8in.) or less, use a 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. Take a sample large enough to yield between 200 and 500 coarse particles retained on the 9.5-mm (3/8-in.) or 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve.

11、Do not overload the sieves. If necessary, sieve the sample in two or three operations. Shaking should be reduced to a minimum to prevent recoating of uncoated particles. 5.2. Place the particles on a clean surface in a one-particle layer, and start counting them immediately. 5.3. Very carefully exam

12、ine each particle under direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or similar light conditions. If even a tiny speck of uncoated stone is noted, classify the particle as “partially uncoated.” If completely coated, classify the particle as “completely coated.” 6. CALCULATION 6.1. The required computation is

15、isionNo precision data are available at this time. As the test is intended to be performed as soon after mixing as possible, there is a concern that remixing due to shipping samples will change the coating of the aggregates. 8.2.
