This tab is used to specify the test data and show the test results.
The following can be entered and displayed on this tab:
Information
Specimen Type: This is used to select the type of specimen. It can either be laboratory molded or a pavement core.
Equipment Method: This used to select the test method equipment according to the ASTM standard. It can either be Method A or Method B.
Test Temperature: This is used to specify the temperature for the test.
Temperature Units: This is used to select the temperature units.
Length Units: This is used to select the length units.
Load Units: This is used to select the load and stability units.
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.
Bulk Specific Gravity: This is the bulk specific gravity of the specimen. It can be calculated by performing the Bulk Specific Gravity and Density test.
Specimen Diameter: This is the specimen diameter. It is typically 4 in (102 mm).
Specimen Thickness: This is thickness of the specimen. It is typically 2.5 in (63.5 mm).
Flow: This is the flow measured in the test.
Load: This is the maximum load determined in the test.
Stability: This the calculated Marshall Stability. It is calculated by multiplying the load by the correction factor. The correction factor is interpolated using the thickness and a predefined list of correlation ratios.
Results
Bulk Specific Gravity: This is the average bulk specific gravity of the specimens.
Marshall Stability: This is the average bulk Marshall Stability of the specimens.
Average Flow: This is the average flow of the specimens.
