ASTM D6752-03e1 - 1.12.2003
 
1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of bulk specific gravity of compacted bituminous mixtures by the vacuum sealing method.

1.2 This method can be used for compacted cylindrical and cubical bituminous laboratory and field specimens.

1.3 The bulk specific gravity of the compacted bituminous mixtures may be used in calculating the unit weight of the mixture.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.
