PRECISION
Test results with precision limits as low as 0.5 pcf (8 kg/m
3
) are possible
under certain conditions. When given the desired degree of precision and a
test measurement, the 3440-L automatically supplies this precision data to
the operator. Assuming the precision requested is within range and the time
required to calculate the required result does not exceed 60 minutes, the
following procedure can usually produce the required results.
The operator should be certain that the gauge is in the correct mode: Soil or
Asphalt. To execute the Precision function, press 〈SHIFT〉 and
〈SPECIAL〉 for:
