Aggregate (AASHTO T 19M / T 19-14) [ASTM C29 / C29M-17]
Candidate Name: ______________________________________ NICET ID: ________________

Apparatus 1 2
Balance The capacity of 2kg or more & sensitive to 0.5 g or less
Unit Weight Measure The top rim is smooth, watertight, and plane to 0.25 mm (0.01 in)
when measured with a feeler gauge
Interior wall of measure is a smooth and continuous surface (no open seams, large welds
Height is 80 to 150% of the diameter
Measure recalibrated at least annually or whenever the accuracy is called into question
Capacity and design of measure conforms to requirements in the table below
Tamping Rod Round, straight steel rod approximately 600 mm (24 in.) long. 16 mm (⅝ in.)
in diameter with hemispherical tip
Piece of Plate Glass (larger than the measure's diameter)
Grease Such as chassis or water pump grease suitable for forming a water-tight seal.
Balance Accurate to 0.1% of the test load
Thermometer with a range of at least 10 °C to 32 °C (50 °F to 90 °F) and that is readable to
at least 0.5 °C (1 °F)

Trial Trial
Procedures 1 2
Sample Preparation
1. The sample obtained by AASHTO T 248, approx. 125 to 200% of the quantity needed to fill
the measure
2. Sample dried to essentially constant mass or at 110 ± 5°C (230 ± 9°F)
Jigging Procedure (37.5 to 150-mm (1 ½ to 5-in.) particles)
1. Measure filled 1/3 full and leveled with fingers
2. Layer compacted by raising alternate sides about 50 mm (2 in.) and dropping on floor 25
times on each side (a total of 50)
3. Measure filled with two more similar layers and third layer filled to overflowing
(before compaction)
