Standard Practice for Determining Asphalt Volume Correction to a Base Temperature

Importancia y uso:

3.1 Asphalts change in volume with change in temperature. They are loaded or transferred at widely varying temperatures. Volume correction factors are used to adjust bulk volumes measured at those temperatures to corresponding volumes at a base temperature of 15 °C or [60 °F] for the purposes of custody transfer and accounting operations.

3.2 Correction factors as provided in this practice have proven to be sufficiently accurate for the intended purposes.

3.3 Coefficients of expansion used for development of data in this practice are as follows:
