8、 the state of polishreached by a test specimen subjected to the specified hours(n)of accelerated polishing using the materials,equipment,andprocedures described in this method.The measurement is madeusing the British Pendulum Tester as described in 5.3 and TestMethod E303.3.1.3 residual polish value
9、,(RPV-n)the residual polishvalue is obtained when a constant PV-n is achieved fourconsecutive times with repeated swings of the pendulum.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice simulates the polishing action of vehiculartraffic on coarse aggregates used in bituminous pavements.4.2 A polish value is
10、determined that may be used to rate orclassify coarse aggregates for their ability to resist polishingunder traffic.NOTE1The quality of the results produced by this standard aredependant upon the competence of the personnel performing the proce-dure and the capability,calibration,and the maintenance
11、 of the equipmentused.Agencies that meet the criteria of Standard Practice D3666 aregenerally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sam-pling/inspection/etc.Users of this standard are cautioned thatcompliance with D3666 alone does not completely assure reliable results.Reliable resul
