Description / Abstract:
This specification covers requirements for scales and balances,
and the loose standard masses used with balances, used in the
testing of construction materials.
The requirements included are descriptive of the balances
required by a number of AASHTO test methods. The general-purpose
balances described herein may not be sufficiently accurate for
certain tests, especially where a high degree of accuracy is
required at large capacities. In such instances, the requirements
for the balance should be included in the test method.
The requirements included herein are not sufficiently
descriptive to be used as purchase specifications without
amplification by the potential purchaser.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.
