Standard Practice for Continuous Thermal Profile of Asphalt Mixture Construction

Abstract

This work shall consist of continuous thermal profiling of the asphalt mat temperature immediately behind the trailing edge of the paver screed plate during placement operations.

This system includes a display that allows the operator in the field to view a pavement surface temperature contour plot and automatically stores and saves the data for later review.

This standard practice is intended to be applied for construction quality control.

All tasks are the contractor's responsibility, unless designated otherwise within this provision
