This document describes test methods for determining the bulk density of a compacted bituminous specimen. The test methods are intended for use with laboratory compacted specimens or specimens from the pavement after placement and compacting@ either by coring or sawing. This document describes the following four procedures@ the choice of which is used being dependent on the estimated content and accessibility of voids in the specimen: a) bulk density ?? dry (for specimens with a very closed surface); b) bulk density ?? saturated surface dry (SSD) (for specimens with a closed surface); c) bulk density ?? sealed specimen (for specimens with an open or coarse surface); d) bulk density by dimensions (for specimens with a regular surface and with geometric shapes@ i.e. squares@ rectangles@ cylinders@ etc.). NOTE Annex A (informative) gives general guidance on selecting the appropriate procedure.
