3、es of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the sieve analysis of mineralfillers used in bituminous paving mixtures.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivale
4、nts; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.NOTE 1Regarding sieves, per ASTM Specification E11, “the valuesstated in SI units shall be considered standard for the dimensions of thewire cloth
5、openings and the diameter of the wires used in the wire cloth.”When sieve mesh sizes are referenced, the alternate inch-pound designa-tions are provided for information purposes and enclosed in parentheses.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated wi
6、th its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Apparatus4.1 Balance or Scale, readable to 0.01 g and conforming tothe requirements of Guide D4753, Class GP-1
10、, with a capacityof 200 g.4.2 Sieves, conforming to Specification E11 with nominalopening sizes of 75-m (No. 200), 300-m (No. 50), 600-m(No. 30), and 1.18-mm (No. 16) sieves.4.3 OvenAn oven of sufficient size, capable of maintain-ing a uniform temperature of 110 6 5C 230 6 9F.5. Test Sample5.1 Obtai
11、n the sample for test in accordance with therequirements of Specification D242 and reduce to testing sizein accordance with Practice C702.

15、 Wash the material by means of a stream of waterfrom a faucet (Note 2). Continue the washing until the watercoming through the sieve is clear (Note 3). Dry the residuefrom each sieve to constant mass at a temperature of 1106 5C230 6 9F (Note 4). Calculate the mass of material retainedon each sieve a
16、s a percentage of the original sample.NOTE 2A spray nozzle or a piece of rubber tubing attached to a waterfaucet may be used for the washing. The velocity of the water, which maybe increased by pinching the tubing, must be controlled to prevent loss ofany of the sample by splashing over the sides of
17、 the sieves.Aspray nozzle,utilizing a pressure gage, is also used in Test Methods C110 and TestMethod C786 for testing hydrated lime and Portland cement, respectively.NOTE 3Take care to avoid accumulation of water on the 75-m (No.200) sieve, because it may become clogged and the operation cannot bec
18、ompleted within a reasonable period.NOTE 4Some material passes the 75-m (No. 200) sieve on drysieving that did not pass during the washing operation. When desired,additional information may be obtained by dry sieving the portion of thesample retained on the 75-m (No. 200) sieve, in accordance with T

Precision and Bias38.1 PrecisionThe estimates of precision for this testmethod are shown in Table 1. They are based on results of aninterlaboratory testin
20、g program where replicable samples offour different mineral fillers were tested in 20 laboratoriesusing this test method. The materials tested ranged from acoarse mineral filler, that had about 93 % passing the 600m(No. 30) sieve and 51 % passing the 75-m (No. 200), to finermineral fillers that had
21、about 99 % passing the 300-m (No.50) sieve and 95 % passing the 75-m (No. 200) sieve.8.2 BiasBias has not been determined since there is noacceptable reference for determining the bias for the procedurein this test method.9.
