Title
Standard Test Methods for Calibration of Laboratory Mechanical-Rammer Soil Compactors
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 10, 2002
Scope:
These test methods for the calibration of mechanical soil compactors
are for use in checking and
adjusting mechanical devices used in laboratory compacting of soil and
soil-aggregate in
accordance with Test Methods D 698, D 1557 and other methods of a
similar nature which might
specify this method. Calibration for use with one method does not
qualify the equipment for use
with another method.
The weight of the mechanical rammer is adjusted as described in 5.4
and 6.5 in order to provide
that the mechanical compactor will produce the same result as the
manual compactor.
Two alternative procedures are provided as follows:
If a mechanical compactor is calibrated in accordance with the
requirements of either Test Method A
or Test Method B, it is not necessary for it to meet the requirements
of the other method.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
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.
