6、y and imme-diately reweighed.The weight of asphalt applied to the pads isdetermined by subtraction and the rate of application iscalculated.Option B,for emulsified asphalt,includes ovendrying the pads to a constant weight to determine the residualasphalt application rate.NOTE1Option B is not to be u
7、sed for cutback asphalts.3.Significance and Use3.1 Option AThe transverse and longitudinal applicationrate and variability in application rate of bituminous materialapplied to a pavement surface using a bituminous distributorcan be estimated using Option A.3.2 Option BThe transverse and longitudinal
8、 residualapplication rate and variability in residual application rate fromemulsified asphalt applications to a pavement surface using abituminous distributor can be estimated by using Option B.4.Apparatus4.1 Balance,sensitive to 0.1 g.4.2 Weighing Box or Balance Shield,required at site forOption A,

11、bration.6.Procedure(Transverse Application Rate)6.1 Select enough of the geotextile fabric pads so that whenplaced transversely end-to-end on the roadway a continuousstrip is created across the width of the roadway to be sprayedwith asphalt.6.2 Create a loop with the duct tape with the adhesive side
12、facing out.Place two loops of duct tape on one edge of each ofthe geotextile fabric pads.6.3 Obtain the weight of the pad and tape assembly to thenearest 0.1 g.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Road andPaving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee
