15、ocken, PA 19428-2959. United States14.2 Large particles of coarse aggregate, especially those larger than 50 mm (2 in.), mm, will require greater time for the moistureto travel from the interior of the particle to the surface. The user of this test method should determine by trial if rapid dryingmet
16、hods provide sufficient accuracy for the intended use when drying large size particles.5. Apparatus5.1 BalanceA balance or scale accurate, readable, and sensitive to within 0.1 % of the test load at any point within the rangeof use. Within any interval equal to 10 % of the capacity of the balance or
17、 scale used to determine mass, the load indication shallbe accurate within 0.1 % of the difference in masses.5.2 Source of HeatA ventilated oven capable of maintaining the temperature surrounding the sample at 110 6 5C (230 69F). 5C. Where close control of the temperature is not required (see 4.1),
18、other suitable sources of heat may be used, such asan electric or gas hot plate, electric heat lamps, or a ventilated microwave oven.5.3 Sample ContainerA container not affected by the heat, of sufficient volume to contain the sample without danger ofspilling, and of such shape that the depth of sam
19、ple will not exceed one fifth of the least lateral dimension.5.3.1 PrecautionWhen a microwave oven is used, the container shall be nonmetallic.NOTE 2Except for testing large samples, an ordinary frying pan is suitable for use with a hot plate, or any shallow flat-bottomed metal pan is suitablewith h

Sampling6.1 Sample in accordance with Practice D75, except for the sample size.6.2 Secure a sample of the aggregate representative of the moisture content in the supply being tested and having a

Very rapid heating may cause some particles to explode, resulting in loss of partic
25、les. Use a controlled temperatureoven when excessive heat may alter the character of the aggregate, or where more precise measurement is required. If a sourceof heat other than the controlled temperature oven is used, stir the sample during drying to accelerate the operation and avoidlocalized overh
26、eating. When using a microwave oven, stirring of the sample is optional.7.2.1 CautionWhen using a microwave oven, occasionally minerals are present in aggregates that may cause the material tooverheat and explode. If this occurs it can damage the microwave oven.7.3 When a hot plate is used, drying c
27、an be expedited by the following procedure. Add sufficient anhydrous denatured alcoholto cover the moist sample. Stir and allow suspended material to settle. Decant as much of the alcohol as possible without losingany of the sample. Ignite the remaining alcohol and allow it to burn off during drying
28、 over the hot plate.7.3.1 WarningExercise care to control the ignition operation to prevent injury or damage from the burning alcohol.7.4 The sample is thoroughly dry when further heating causes, or would cause, less than 0.1 % additional loss in mass.7.5 Determine the mass of the dried sample to th
29、e nearest 0.1 % after it has cooled sufficiently not to damage the balance.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate total evaporable moisture content as follows:p 5100 W 2D!/D (1)where:p = total evaporable moisture content of sample, percent,W = mass of original sample, g, andD = mass of dried sample, g.8.2 Surf
30、ace moisture content is equal to the difference between the total evaporable moisture content and the absorption, withall values based on the mass of a dry sample.Absorption may be determined in accordance with Test Method C127 or Test MethodC128.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Precision:9.1.1 The within-l
31、aboratory single operator standard deviation for moisture content of aggregates has been found to be 0.28 %(Note 23). Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests by the same operator in the same laboratory on the same type ofaggregate sample should not differ by more than 0.79 % (Note 23) fro
32、m each other.9.1.2 The between-laboratory standard deviation for moisture content of aggregates has been found to be 0.28 % (Note 23).Therefore, results of properly conducted tests from two laboratories on the same aggregate sample should not differ by more than0.79 % (Note 23) from each other.9.1.3
33、 Test data used to derive the above precision indices were obtained from samples dried to a constant mass in a drying ovenmaintained at 110 6 5C. When other drying procedures are used, the precision of the results may be significantly different thanthat indicated above.NOTE 3These numbers represent,
34、 respectively, the 1s and 2s limits as described in Practice C670.9.2 Bias:9.2.1 When experimental results are compared with known values from accurately compounded specimens, the following hasbeen derived.9.2.1.1 The bias of moisture tests on one aggregate material has been found to have a mean of
35、+0.06 %. The bias of individualtest values from the same aggregate material has been found with 95 % confidence to lie between 0.07 % and +0.20 %.9.2.1.2 The bias of moisture tests on a second aggregate material has been found to have a mean of +0.01 %. The bias ofindividual test values from the sam
36、e aggregate material has been found with 95 % confidence to lie between 0.14 % and +0.14 %.9.2.1.3 The bias of moisture tests overall on both aggregate materials has been found to have a mean of +0.03 %. The bias ofindividual test values overall from both aggregate materials has been found with 95 %
37、 confidence to lie between 0.12 %and +0.18 %.9.2.2 Test data used to derive the above bias statements were obtained from samples dried to a constant mass in a drying ovenmaintained at 110 6 5C. When other drying procedures are used, the bias of the results may be significantly different than thatind
38、icated above.NOTE 4These precision and bias statements were derived from aggregate moisture data provided by 17 laboratories participating in the SHRP SoilMoisture Proficiency Sample Program which is fully described in the National Research Council Report SHRP-P-619. The samples tested which relatet
39、o these statements were well-graded mixtures of fine and coarse aggregate with moisture contents ranging from air dry to saturated surface dry.C566 13310.
