Standard Test Method for Thickness or Height of Compacted Asphalt Mixture Specimens
Also Known As:
The ASTM D3549/D3549M-18 standard is titled "Standard Test Method for Thickness or Height of Compacted Asphalt Mixture Specimens." This test method is used to determine the thickness or height of compacted asphalt mixture specimens. The thickness of a compacted asphalt mixture is often used as a construction check to ensure the correct quantity of materials has been placed on a project and to correct strength measurement on constant diameter specimens with varying heights.
The standard includes two important notes. Note 1 specifies that the explanatory notes and footnotes provided in the test method should not be considered as requirements. Note 2 emphasizes that the quality of the test results relies on the competence of personnel performing the procedure and the calibration and maintenance of the equipment used. Complying with Specification D3666, which sets criteria for testing, sampling, and inspection capabilities, is recommended to ensure reliable results.
