METHODS OF SAMPLING AND TESTING ASPHALT, METHOD 14.1.2: FIELD DENSITY TESTS - DETERMINATION OF FIELD DENSITY OF COMPACTED ASPHALT USING A NUCLEAR SURFACE MOISTURE-DENSITY GAUGE - BACKSCATTER MODE

This Standard sets out the method for determining the field density of layers of asphalt using a nuclear surface moisture-density gauge in the backscatter mode of operation. The method is applicable to asphalt layers between 50 mm and 100 mm thick and to asphalts having a nominal maximum size not greater than 40 mm. (a) The Standard was approved on behalf of the Council of Standards Australia on 12 February 1999 and on behalf of the Council of Standards New Zealand on 5 February 1999
