If a plant runs 300 tons of asphalt per hour at 6% moisture, it will be using 317 gallons per hour of fuel to dry the aggregate before it is heated up to the correct temperature.

Place all the mixture into a pan. Record mass of empty bowl, spatula, and paddle or whip. Ensure the combined mass and the mass of the initial buttered bowl and utensils is within 0.10 percent of the sample mass of the mixed sample. Note 11: For a 4700 g sample, 0.10% = 4.7 g. and for a 2100 g sample, 0.10% = 2.1 g.

Having lab equipment in proper calibration gives you a better chance at proper measurements and testing results. Dan Ridolfi of Lastrada Partners, El Dorado Hills, California, stated the calibration and maintenance of lab equipment is just as important as the calibration and maintenance of the asphalt and aggregate equipment at the plant.

The Material Plant Quality Program (MPQP) provides procedures to approve proportioning material plants that produce materials for Caltrans construction projects according to the MPQP Manual and Caltrans specifications. The following material plants require approval (but are not limited to): HMA batch and continuous. Asphalt rubber binder.

If a plant produces 300 tonnes of asphalt per hour at 6% moisture, it will be using 1,200 litres of fuel per hour to dry the aggregate before it is heated up to the correct temperature. If the moisture content then changed from 6% to 5% without the dryer being adjusted for 1h, that would equate to 180 litres of fuel being wasted in that 60min ...

aggregate delivery as displayed on the plant controller. Where there is no separate display of wet aggregate usage during an aggregate only check-run, change the input aggregate moisture by a nominal amount (say 3 %) and note the appropriate change to the indicated aggregate delivery rate. Moisture is computed as a percent of the dry aggregate,

4.1 Asphalt binder content results may be affected by the type of aggregate and binder in the mixture. A calibration factor for the asphalt binder content must be established for each mix design. Certain aggregate types may result in an unusually high calibration factor and erroneous gradation results due to aggregate breakdown.

Scope: 1.1. To insure the asphalt plant is capable of producing a homogeneous mix of asphalt and aggregates that meet Alabama Department of Transportation specifications.

2. Increase specific loads with intervals and record the readings on monitor. 3. This method is used for the balance scales of aggregates, bitumen and filler.

Please note: It is extremely important to highlight that this is a very safe and proven way to avoid having the plant personnel trying to handle cumbersome pipes and high-temperature A.C. that formerly was always accomplished by pumping into a tanker truck and taking the truck to a truck scale to check and measure (weigh) to determine the calibration.
