New Standard from Last Update.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes the method of test for determination of stability, flow and bulk density of bituminous mixes, prepared with bitumen binder and aggregates of nominal maximum sizes 25.4 mm (1.0 in, Method A) and 37.5 mm (1.5 in, Method B).

1.2 Method A covers the measurement of stability, flow and bulk density of bituminous mix specimens with 102 mm (4 in) diameter for aggregates having nominal maximum size 25.4 mm, when loaded on the lateral surface by means of the Marshall Apparatus.

1.3 Method B covers the measurement of stability, flow and bulk density of bituminous mix specimens with 153 mm (6 in) diameter for aggregates having nominal maximum size 25.4 mm, when loaded on the lateral surface by means of the Marshall Apparatus.
