BS EN 12697-7:2022EN 12697-7:2022(E) Bituminous mixtures —Test methods Part 7: Determination of the bulk density of bituminous specimens by gamma rays
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for measuring the bulk density of pavement mixtures using atransmission-type gamma radiation test bench.
This method applies to cylindrical specimens or parallelepipedal blocks, prepared in a laboratory or cutfrom a pavement.The thickness and the mass absorption coefficient, which is a function of the chemicalcomposition, are known. The thickness of the specimen body traversed by the radiation is between30 mm and 300 mm.
The method cannot be applied to materials containing slags, with variable metal content or chemicalcomposition.
NOTE
Material containing metal or chemical compositions can affect the absorption of gamma rays.
