WK96669 - New Test Method for Using Hand-Held Electronic or Bimetal Thermometers to Monitor Asphalt Mixture Temperatures in the Field

Work Item

ASTM WK96669

New Test Method for Using Hand-Held Electronic or Bimetal Thermometers to Monitor Asphalt Mixture Temperatures in the Field

1. Scope

The proper use of hand-held digital, bimetal, and infrared thermometers for monitoring the temperature of asphalt mixtures during production, placement, and compaction, and with temperatures typically 50 to 220°C [122 to 428°F].

Keywords

asphalt mixture; field measurement; temperature; thermometer

Rationale

There is currently not a standard in ASTM that describes these activities. This standard would be beneficial to asphalt mixture producers and field paving technicians as a practice to measure the temperature with hand held devices, such as infrared non-contact or direct contact methods.
