ASTM RR:D04-1033 PDF Download

The ASTM RR:D04-1033 standard describes a procedure for measuring the density of bituminous paving mixtures using electromagnetic surface contact methods.

This standard details the steps and equipment required to perform the density measurement accurately. It is specifically designed for bituminous paving mixtures and provides guidelines for the selection and calibration of the equipment used in the test. The standard also includes instructions for preparing the test specimens and conducting the measurements.

The purpose of the ASTM RR:D04-1033 standard is to establish a standardized method for determining the density of bituminous paving mixtures in place. The density measurement is important in determining the quality and performance of the pavement. It allows for the evaluation of compaction levels, which are crucial for ensuring the durability and longevity of the pavement.
