Utilization of this method results in a significantsavings in time over the conventional practice of manuallydrilling holes into the pavement, and it results in a significantincrease in the volume of temperature data (one pavementtemperature for each test point) and the ability to recordtemperatu

Apparatus6.1 Surface Temperature Measurement DeviceThe sur-face temperature measurement device can be an infrared (IR)thermometer mounted on a deflection device, a hand-held IRthermometer, or a surface contact thermometer. The tempera-ture measurement device shou
19、ld be calibrated according to themanufacturers recommendations.7. Calculation7.1 BELLS MethodThe BELLS method for productiontesting (called BELLS3 in other publications) has been derivedbased on temperature measurements taken on pavement sur-faces that have been shaded for a short period (less than
20、oneminute) of time. The following equation is valid for approxi-mately 30 seconds of shading:Td5 0.95 1 0.892 * IR 1 $log d! 1.25%$0.448 * IR1 0.621 * 1day! 1 1.83 * sin hr18 15.5!%1 0.042 * IR * sin hr18 13.5! (1)where:Td= pavement temperature at depth d, C,IR = infrared surface temperature, C,log
21、= base 10 logarithm,d = depth at which asphalt temperature is to be pre-dicted, mm,1-day = average of the minimum and maximum air tem-peratures, C, for the previous complete 24-hourday before testing,sin = sin function in 18-hour clock system, with 2pradians equal to one 18-hour cycle, andhr18= time
22、 of day, in 24-hour system, but calculatedusing an 18-hour temperature rise and fall cycle, asindicated in 7.1.1 and 7.1.2.7.1.1 When using the sin (hr18 15.5) decimal time func-tion, only use times from 11:00 to 05:00 hrs. If the actual timeis not within this time range, then calculate the sin as i
23、f the timeis 11:00 hrs (where the sin = 1). If the time is betweenmidnight and 05:00 hrs, add 24 to the actual decimal time.Then calculate as follows: If the time is 13:15, then in decimalform, 13.25 15.50 = 2.25; 2.25/18 = 0.125; 0.125 3 2p= 0.785 radians; sin (0.785) = 0.707. In this case an 18 ho
24、ursin function is assumed, with a flat (= 1) sin segment between05:00 and 11:00 hours.7.1.2 When using the sin (hr18 13.5) decimal function,only use times from 09:00 to 03:00 hrs. If the actual time is notwithin this time range, then calculate the sin as if the time is09:00 hrs (where the sin = 1).
25、If the time is between midnightand 03:00 hrs, add 24 to the actual (decimal) time. Thencalculate as follows: If the time is 15:08, then in decimal form,15.13 13.50 = 1.63; 1.63/18 = 0.091; 0.091 3 2p = 0.569radians; sin (0.569) = 0.539. In this case an 18 hour sinfunction is assumed, with a flat (=
26、1) sin segment between03:00 and 09:00 hours.NOTE 1BELLS has been verified using the LTPPdatabase at both middepth and third depth temperature points. The regressions derived from thedata at either depth were virtually identical; therefore, they were combinedin deriving the BELLS equations. The aspha
27、lt layer thicknesses covered inthe database were primarily between 50 mm and 300 mm; thereforetemperature prediction depths within the AC layer should be limited tobetween 25 mm and 150 mm beneath the surface. Although this testmethod may be used for at-depth temperatures greater than 150 mmthrough
28、extrapolation, the results have not been verified or calibrated todate. Since the equations boundary condition at depth=0isinconsistentwith the input IR temperature value, the determination of an at-depthpayment temperature less than 25 mm is not recommended.NOTE 2The database used to derive the BEL
29、LS equations consistsprimarily of data gathered during daylight hours between approximately06:00 hrs and 18:00 hrs. Although the test method may be used outside ofthis time frame through extrapolation of the 18-hour sinusoidal relation-ships, the results have not been verified or calibrated to date.

Precision and Bias9.1 A precision and bias statement for this standard has notbeen
31、 developed at this time. Therefore, this standard should notbe used for acceptance or rejection of a material for purchasingpurposes.NOTE 3The BELLS equation for production testing (BELLS3) wasderived using the LTPP database (10 304 observations; R-squared =0.975). The regressions standard estimate
32、of error was 61.9C based onan adjustment using the LTPP database for 30 seconds of shading. Usingthe regression approach on this database, by definition there was no bias.10.
