摘要： An apparatus and method for determination of susceptibility of asphalt concrete materials to moisture damage. An asphalt sample of known bulk specific gravity (density) is placed inside a chamber filled with water, which is capable of heating the sample to a pre-determined temperature. The chamber is pressurized by introduction of air pressure to a flexible membrane that decreases the volume within a chamber containing the sample and water, increasing the pore pressure in the sample. The pressure is then released and allowed to come to ambient pressure. This process is repeated a predetermined number of times (cycles). When a selected number of cycles are complete, the asphalt sample is removed from the chamber and its bulk specific gravity (density) measured again. The difference between the density before and after conditioning is an excellent method of rating the degree at which moisture would deteriorate asphalt samples due to introduction of moisture. The cyclic nature of the increased/decreased pore pressure is observed to significantly decrease bulk specific gravity (density) for poor quality asphalt designs. Furthermore, the sample conditioned by this method can be used for other conventional mechanical test methods, such as tensile strength and modulus determination. Computerized controls are used to automate the procedure and to record and display data from sensors.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products analyze asphalt samples for anti-stripping agents by: obtaining a sample comprising asphalt binder material; sensing a selected parameter associated with the sample (such as the acidity and/or alkalinity of the sample); and analyzing the sensed parameter to assess at least one of: (a) the presence of at least one anti-stripping agent in the sample; and (b) the level of at least one anti-stripping agent in the sample. The sample can be heated so that it emits exhaust gas and the exhaust gas (directly or indirectly) interrogated to determine its pH, or other constituents or properties, such as ammonia. Pre-defined mathematical relationships can be used to correlate the measured sensed data to the concentrations of the anti-stripping agent(s) in the sample undergoing analysis. The evaluation can be carried out in a generally automated rapid manner so that the test can be completed in about 10 minutes or less. Related devices and kits are also described.

摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus and method for dynamically measuring the density of soil, asphaltic material and the like during the compaction of the material. The gauge includes a nuclear radiation source and a nuclear radiation detector means which are mounted in spaced relation from the surface of the test material to form an air gap therebetween. The gauge also includes means for measuring the size of the air gap between the test material and the source and detector system, and means to compensate for the effect of the size of the air gap to thereby obtain the density of the test material.

摘要： The present invention relates to an improvement in a nuclear measuring gauge for measuring the composition of a hydrogen containing material by counting neutrons which are thermalized by the presence of the hydrogen in the material. The present invention is based upon the recognition that in measuring samples, such as hot asphalt, with such a gauge, the error which is introduced by temperature variations in a sample is a function of not only the temperature of the sample but also its hydrogen content. In accordance with the present invention, this inaccuracy is compensated for by applying to the measurement a correction factor which is a function of both the temperature of the sample and its hydrogen content.

摘要： An apparatus and method for quickly drying porous materials. A sealable chamber is connected to a cold trap which is connected to a vacuum pump. A sample is placed inside the sealable chamber. The vacuum pump is turned on and air is evacuated through the cold trap to the vacuum pump. An infrared lamp may be used to heat the chamber and sample therein directly or heated air may be allowed to enter the sealable chamber. Air may be drawn directly from the sealable chamber to the vacuum pump bypassing the cold trap. Various parameters may be used to determine if the drying process is complete, including the degree of vacuum achieved in the chamber.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for analyzing the aggregate content of asphalt-aggregate compositions. The method includes placing a preheated, preweighed container carrying a sample of an asphalt-aggregate composition into a preheated furnace with the preheated furnace being warmer than the preheated sample, continuing to heat the furnace while drawing air through the furnace at a rate that avoids impeding the heating of the furnace or the sample until the sample in the container reaches its combustion temperature and the combustion of the sample becomes exothermic, initiating a second draw of air around rather than through the furnace to moderate the exterior temperature of the furnace, accelerating the draw through the furnace to increase the rate of combustion of the exothermic reaction, and reweighing the container and sample after combustion is complete. The apparatus includes a furnace, a housing around the furnace, a furnace exhaust in communication with the furnace, a housing exhaust in communication with the housing, means for drawing an airflow though the furnace and into the furnace exhaust, means for drawing a separate airflow though the housing and into the housing exhaust, and a junction between the exhausts that forms a common exhaust from the housing and the furnace.

摘要： A neutron gauge is described for determining the moisture content of a moisture containing material. Samples of the moisture containing material are confined in a sample pan and a sample cover with sufficient neutron moderating activity is pressed against the sample. The cover, sample, and sample pan are placed in the same location in the gauge with respect to the neutron source and detector for each measurement to compensate for volume variations in the sample. The sample can be weighed to compensate for density variations. The sample pan cover can include a cadmium sheet for direct contact with the sample to shield the sample from neutrons thermalized by the cover.

摘要： Measuring the distance to a surface of an object using ultrasonic energy pulses, an ultrasonic energy pulse is directed toward the object and the time is measured for the reflection to return so as to determine the distance to the object. A reference ultrasonic pulse is directed through a fixed and known distance to provide a reference measurement. To enhance the accuracy of the measurement, the air in the region traversed by the ultrasonic pulses is mixed by directing a swirling flow of air in this region so that the temperature of the air in the path of the reference measurement is more nearly representative of the temperature of the air where the distance measurement is taken.

摘要： The present invention provides a nuclear radiation backscatter gauge and method by which an accurate determination of the density of a test material can be made, even though the test material may have surface irregularities or voids which would otherwise contribute significant error to the density measurement. The invention is based upon the use of a nuclear density gauge which is specially designed for measuring thin layers, and which is characterized by having a source and at least two separate detector systems mounted in geometrically differing relationships with respect to the source. Through the use of this type of gauge, in combination with a pad or block of known thickness and density, a measurement is made of the density of a top zone of a predetermined thickness which is greater than the thickness of the block and which thus encompasses not only the block but also an upper portion of the underlying material where the surface voids and irregularities exists. A density measurement is also made of the composite material, i.e. the block and the underlying material. The density of the composite material and the density of the top zone are then used to accurately determine the density of the material as it exists below the level of surface irregularities and voids.
