Example
Weight of Sample Pan with aggregate
Less: Weight of empty sample pan
Net Weight of Aggregate
DO NOT COMPACT THE SAMPLE WITH A
COMPACTION TOOL!
Figure 3. Filling the Blank Sample Pan
10. Place the filled sample pan on the balance or electronic scale
and record the weight.
11. Subtract the weight of the empty pan to obtain the weight of
the aggregate only.
12. Place the aggregate-only sample back in the oven and reheat
to the proposed plant temperature.
13. Measure this sample using a 16-minute count time. Record
this count on the calibration form (see Appendix F).
