IMPLEMENTATION OF NUCLEAR GAGE MOISTURE STANDARDS

Two sand and magnesium sulfate moisture standards and a magnesium density standard were implemented into the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation nuclear moisture gage calibration procedure. In addition to the development of moisture standards, the nuclear program used in determining the moisture calibration curve for a nuclear gage was modified to accept new input data and to provide a more useful output.
