Additional information
| Significance and Use |
|
5.1 Values of density are used for converting volumes to units of mass and for correcting measured volumes at the measured temperature to a standard temperature using Practice D4311/D4311M. Note 2: The quality of the results produced by this standard
are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the
procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the
equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification
D3666 are generally
considered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling,
inspection, etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that
compliance with Specification D3666 alone does not completely ensure
reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors;
following the suggestions of Specification D3666 or some similar acceptable
guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of
those factors.

| 1. Scope |
|
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative density and density of semi-solid asphalt materials, asphalt binders, asphalt cements, and soft-tar pitches by use of a digital density meter (U-tube). Note 1: Alternate methods for determining the density of
semi-solid and solid asphalt materials and asphalt binders include
Test Methods D3289,
D3142/D3142M, and
D70.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. No other units of measurement are included in this standard, with the exception of temperature measurements. Units provided in degrees Fahrenheit are for reference purposes only. Temperatures given in degrees Celsius are to be considered standard. 1.3 The between-laboratory reproducibility of this test method is being determined and will be available on or before June 2021. Therefore, this standard should not be used for acceptance or rejection of a material for purchasing purposes. 1.4 This test method should not be applied to petroleum distillates other than asphalt and asphalt binders. For the determination of density of all other petroleum distillates and viscous oils, use Test Method D4052 or D5002, or ISO 12185. 1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. 1.6 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. |
