1、Designation: D 2995 99 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Practice forEstimating Application Rate of Bituminous Distributors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2995; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea

2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the determi

3、nation of transverse andlongitudinal application rate of asphalt distributors in gallonsper square yard (or litres per square metre).1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to estab

4、lish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.3 The values given in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI values given in parentheses are forinformation purposes only.2. Summary of Practice2.1 Test Method

5、A:2.1.1 Pre-weighed calibration pads are placed on the surfaceof the roadway in front of the distributor to be calibrated. Theasphalt distributor to be calibrated is driven over the calibrationpads while spraying asphalt. The calibration pads are removedfrom the roadway and reweighed. The weight of

6、asphaltapplied to the pads is determined by subtraction and the rate ofapplication is calculated.2.2 Test Method B:2.2.1 Containers are placed under each nozzle of a bitumi-nous distributor and bituminous material is sprayed into thecontainers for a known period of time. The volume ofbituminous mate

7、rial sprayed after this period is calculated. Thetransverse uniformity of bituminous material sprayed on thepavement is obtained from this calculation and the distributionof bituminous material applied longitudinally on the pavementis calculated as a function of the distributor velocity.3. Significa

8、nce and Use3.1 The amount of bituminous material applied to a pave-ment surface using a bituminous distributor can be estimatedusing the described procedure.4. Apparatus4.1 Test Methods A and B:4.1.1 Balance, sensitive to 0.1 g.4.1.2 Weighing Box or Balance Shield, to protect balancefrom wind when t

14、ide.6. Procedure (Transverse Application Rate)6.1 Test Method A:6.1.1 Select enough of the geotextile fabric pads so thatwhen placed end-to-end on the roadway a continuous strip iscreated across the width of the roadway to be sprayed withasphalt.6.1.2 Create a loop with the duct tape with the adhesi

15、ve sidefacing out. Place two loops of duct tape on one edge of each ofthe geotextile fabric pads.6.1.3 Obtain the weight of the pad and tape assembly to thenearest 0.1 g.6.1.4 Place the pad assembly with the tape facing down onthe roadway so the taped edge is facing the distributor. Applypressure to

16、 the taped pad to secure it to the roadway. Continuethis operation for the remaining pads for the entire widthdesired for calibration.6.1.5 Place two sheets of the butcher paper over the padassemblies in the area where the distributor tires will fall on thepad assemblies as shown in Fig. 2. These sh

17、eets should bepositioned so they protect the pad assemblies from damage bythe distributor tires as the truck passes over the pad assemblies.The sheets of butcher paper should adhere to the front and reartires as the distributor passes over the pad assemblies leavingthe pad assemblies available to re

18、ceive the asphalt as it issprayed onto the roadway surface.6.1.6 As soon as the distributor has passed over the calibra-tion pad assemblies, remove each pad assembly from theroadway.6.1.7 Weigh each pad to the nearest 0.1 g. Record the weightof each pad and the pad position on the roadway on the rep

Wrap theexcess plastic over the top of the can and secure with a rubberband.6.2.2 Record the weight of the elliptical can, plastic andrubber band assembly to the nearest 0.1 g.6.2.3 Place one can assembly under each noz

Ensure thatthe top of the can assembly is equal to or above the bottom ofeach nozzle.6.2.4 Activate the spraybar so that when the asphalt issprayed from each nozzle it is completely collected in eachpre-weighed can assembly. Start the s

Stop the stopwatch theinstant the asphalt stops flowing into the can assembly.6.2.6 Record the weight of each can assembly in the properspace o

Procedure (Longitudinal Application Rate)7.1 Test Method A:7.1.1 Prepare the calibration pads and tape assemblies asdescribed in 6.1.2 through 6.1.4. Position enough pads edge t

23、oedge down the pavement so the application rate in the longdirection to be sprayed is covered as shown in Fig. 3. Positionthe pads so the distributor tires do not come in contact with thepads.7.1.2 As soon as the distributor has sprayed asphalt on thecalibration pads, remove to the weigh table.7.1.3

24、 Weigh each pad assembly to the nearest 0.1 g. Recordthe weight of each pad and the position on the report form.7.2 Test Method B:7.2.1 Test Method B (6.2) must be completed before con-ducting this section.7.2.2 Determine forward velocity of asphalt distributor infeet per minute from the previously

25、calibrated speedometer onthe equipment or by measuring the time required for theequipment to pass over a measured length on the pavement.Record this rate as (G).7.2.3 Measure the spray width. Record this distance in feetas (H).8. Calculation (Transverse Application Rate)8.1 Test Method A:8.1.1 Subtr

Persistent variation for a given nozzl

30、e position inthe spraybar indicates difficulty with the spraybar, pump, orother distribution equipment and should be evaluated beforecalibration is continued.9.
