(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Moisture in Mineral Aggregate Used on Built-Up Roofs
Standard Test Method for Moisture in Mineral Aggregate Used on Built-Up Roofs
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method measures the moisture in mineral aggregate required by Specification D 1863.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of moisture in mineral aggregate for use on built-up roofs.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
