BS EN 12697-6 1 Scope This document specifes test methods for determining the bulk density of a compacted bituminous
specimen. The test methods are intended for use with laboratory compacted specimens or specimens from the pavement after placement and compacting. either by coring or sawing. This document specifies the following four procedures, the choice of which is used being dependent on the estimated content and accessibility of voids in the specimen: a) bulk density一dry (for specimens with a very closed surface); b) bulk density一saturated surface dry (SSD) (for specimens with a closed surface); c) bulk density一sealed specimen (for specimens with an open or coarse surface); d) bulk density by dimensions (for specimens with a regular surface and with geometric shapes, i.e. squares, rectangles, cylinders, etc.). NOTE Annex A (informative) gives general guidance on selecing the appropriate procedure. 2 Normative references The fllowing documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constutes requrements of this document.
