This tab is used to specify the information used for the density determination.

 

 

The following can be entered and displayed on this tab:

 

Information

 

Aggregate Type: This is used to specify the type of soil and aggregate.

 

Source: This is used to specify the source of the soil and aggregate.

 

Ambient Temperature: This is used to specify the ambient temperature.

 

Lane/Lot Number: This is used to specify the lane or lot number being tested.

 

Lift Number: This is used to specify the lift number being tested.

 

Lift Thickness: This is used to specify the lift thickness.

 

Starting Station: This is used to specify the starting station being tested.

 

Ending Station: This is used to specify the ending station being tested.

 

Lane/Test Width: This is used to specify the lane or test width.

 

Test Length: This is the calculated test length. It is the difference between the starting and ending stations.

 

Gauge Type: This is used to select the type of nuclear gauge from a predefined list of gauge types.

 

Gauge Number: This is used to select the gauge number from a predefined list of gauge numbers.

 

Calibration Date: This is used to specify the last calibration date of the gauge.

 

Calibration Source: This used to specify the calibration source.

 

Measurement Method: This used  to select the measurement method, either backscatter or direct transmission.

 

Manufacturer Standard Count: This is used to specify the manufacturer standard count.

 

Density Standard Count: This is used to specify the density standard count.

 

Rod Depth: If the measurement method is direct transmission, this is the depth of the rod.

 

Test Maximum Density: This is used to specify the maximum density determined in the laboratory.

 

Options

 

Calculate Dry Density: Check this box to calculate the dry density otherwise the dry density can be recorded on the next tab.

 

Calculate Moisture Percentage: Check this box to calculate the moisture percentage on the next tab.

 

Record Compaction: Check this box to enter the compaction for each measurement instead of calculating the compaction.

 

Calculate Compaction: Check this box to calculate the compaction for each measurement.

 

Neither: Check this box to not calculate or record the compaction for each measurement.

 

Units

 

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

 

Length: This is used to select the units for length.

 

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