1、Designation:D328917Standard Test Method forDensity of Semi-Solid and Solid Asphalt Materials(NickelCrucible Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3289;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、 last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the densityof semi-solid and solid asphalt materials by weighing in air andin
3、 water.NOTE1An alternate method for determining the density of semi-solidand solid asphalt materials is Test Method D70.For materials which aretoo fluid for use of this method,use Test Method D3142.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.No other units of measurement are
4、included in thisstandard.1.3 Warning Mercury has been designated by the UnitedStates Environmental ProtectionAgency(EPA)and many stateagencies as a hazardous material that can cause central nervoussystem,kidney,and liver damage.Mercury or its vapor may behazardous to health and corrosive to material
5、s.Caution shouldbe taken when handling mercury and mercury-containingproducts.See the applicable product Safety Data Sheet(SDS)for details and EPAs websitewww.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htmfor additional information.Users should be awarethat selling mercury,mercury-containing products,or both,inyour state
