The following can be entered and displayed on this tab:

 

Information

 

Mixture Type: This is used to select the type of mixture of the specimen. It can be bituminous pavement, laboratory molded bituminous mixture, or other.

 

Container Type: This is used to select the type of vacuum container. It can be flask, bowl, or other.

 

Procedure: This is used to select the weighing procedure. It can either be in air or water.

 

Mass Units: This is used to select the units for mass.

 

Density Units: This is used to select the units for density.

 

Temperature Units: This is used to select the units for temperature.

 

Data

 

Sets of data measurements can be added and deleted using the Add Set and Delete Set buttons. Each set of measurements consist of the information below.

 

Set: This is the set number. It is automatically filled in by the program.

 

Temperature: This is the temperature of the water bath.

 

Dry Specimen Mass: This is used to specify the air dried mass of the specimen.

 

Container Under Water Mass:  If the procedure is weighing in water, this is used to specify the mass of the container (bowl) under water.

 

Container with Water Mass:  If the procedure is weighing in air, this is used to specify the mass of the container (bowl), lid and water.

 

Container with Specimen under Water Mass: If the procedure is weighing in water, this is used to specify the mass of the container and specimen under water.

 

Container with Specimen and Water Mass: If the procedure is weighing in air, this is used to specify the mass of the container, lid, specimen and water.

 

Specific Gravity: This is the calculated specific gravity of the specimen.

 

Density: This is the calculated density of the specimen.

 

Results

 

Specific Gravity: This is the average specific gravity of all the specimens.

 

Density: This is the average density of all the specimens.
