    SOP For Sampling On Paver

    Uploaded by

    malique ayet
    This document provides guidance on sampling asphalt mixes from various points during production and construction. It outlines that sampling should be sufficient to provide confidence in test results, and intervals should be selected randomly. Samples can be taken from conveyor belts, pavers, transport trucks, and the roadway before and after compaction. The number of increments required depends on mix size, with a minimum of three increments combined to form a field sample. Samples must be properly labeled and transported to prevent contamination or loss.

    The document describes different methods for sampling asphalt mixes at various stages of production and construction including from conveyor belts, pavers, truck transports, and roadways both before and after compaction. Proper sampling is important to obtain representative samples for quality control testing.

    The different methods described for sampling asphalt mixes are from conveyor belts, pavers, truck transports, and roadways both prior to and after compaction.

    When shipping samples, they should be transported in containers to prevent loss or contamination and have identification attached with information such as contract number, pit file data, stockpile number, sample number, control section, date sampled, tests required, and details on who submitted the sample.

    STP 103

    Standard Test Section: SAMPLING


    Procedures Manual Subject: SAMPLING ASPHALT MIXES

    1. SCOPE

    1.1. Description of Test

    These methods cover sampling of bituminous paving mixes at the points of manufacture,
    storage or delivery.

    2. APPARATUS AND MATERIALS

    2.1. Number of Samples

    The number of samples to be obtained by one of the methods described below depends on
    the criticality and variability of the property to be measured. The number of samples
    should be sufficient to provide the desired confidence in test results.

    Unless otherwise specified, sampling frequency shall be:

    For routine production control, take one sample for every 3 hours of plant operation.

    For check testing of field laboratory results, submit samples to district or central
    laboratories as described in STP 101.

    Sampling intervals or locations should be selected by a random method and should be


    clearly designated before samples are selected.

    3. PROCEDURE

    3.1. Sampling

    3.1.1. Sampling From Conveyor Belt

    Stop the conveyor belt carrying bituminous mix and insert the templates which
    conform to the shape of the belt.

    Space the templates so that the material contained between them will yield a
    sample of the required weight shown in Table I.

    Carefully scoop all materials between the templates into a suitable container.

    Section: Subject:
    SAMPLING SAMPLING ASPHALT MIXES

    3.1.2. Sampling From Paver

    Stop the paver carrying bituminous mix and scoop the bituminous material into a
    suitable container. Scoop enough material so that the sample can be split into two
    2500 gram samples. Samples can be obtained from the paver at designated lots.
    Sampling from the paver is primarily used to obtain samples for Abson testing.

    3.1.3. Sampling From Truck Transports

    Select the truck unit to be sampled by a random method.

    Obtain at least three approximately equal increments selected at random from the
    unit being sampled and combine to form a field sample of the quantity shown in
    Table I.

    The increments may be obtained by placing containers in the transport at the


    appropriate time to catch the increments with a scoop or shovel.

    3.1.4. Sampling From Roadway Prior to Compaction

    Select the areas to be sampled from the material in place, by a random method.

    Clearly mark the specific areas from which each increment is to be removed.
    Templates placed before the mixture is spread will be a definite aid in securing
    approximate increment weights.

    Obtain at least three approximately equal increments selected at random from the
    area being sampled and combine to form a field sample of the quantity shown in
    Table I.

    Take all increments from the roadway for the full depth of the material, taking care
    to exclude any underlying material.

    3.1.5. Sampling From Roadway After Compaction

    Samples shall be collected in accordance with STP 204-5, ASPHALT


    CONCRETE SAMPLES OBTAINED BY CORING.

    3.2. Shipping

    Transport samples in containers so constructed as to prevent loss or contamination to any


    part of the sample during shipment.

    Samples shall have individual identification attached giving the information required by
    the sample user. Typical information for plant mixed samples should include field test
    results such as contract number, pit file, data, stockpile number, sample number, control
    section, date sampled and any other pertinent information.

    Samples taken from roadway should include such information as station number and
    transverse location in pavement, also whether sampled from completed pavement or
    windrow, quantity represented, date, tests required, and by whom submitted, etc.

    4. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    4.1. General Sampling

    Sampling is equally important as the testing and the sampler must take every precaution to
    obtain samples that will yield an acceptable estimate of the nature and conditions of the
    materials which they represent.

    Samples for control testing and development of preliminary data are obtained by the lab
    person or plant inspector.

    The materials shall be inspected to determine discernible variations and the contractor will
    provide necessary equipment needed for safe inspection and sampling.
