HMA T-312 January 2009 Preparing and Determining the Density of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) Specimens by Means of the Superpave Gyratory Compactor AASHTO T-312-08 (Modified – Method A) This method covers the compaction of cylindrical specimens of hot mix asphalt (HMA) using the Superpave gyratory compactor. The specimens simulate the density, aggregate orientation, and structural characteristics obtained in the actual roadway when proper construction procedure is used in the placement of the paving mix (3.1). Modifications: 1. The temperature of the mold assembly should be maintained at the molding temperature shown on the mix design  2 C (± 3.6ºF). 2. At the time molding begins, the material temperature shall not be less than design molding temperature or exceed design molding temperature by more than 5 C (9 F). 3. A minimum of two ovens will be required for this procedure. Heating of the HMA and molds in the same oven will not be allowed. 4. Only Method A, External Angle Verification, will be used. 5. The briquette shall be cooled for a minimum of four (4) hours prior to testing by AASHTO T-166, Bulk Specific Gravity. Key Elements: 1. Obtain a sample of the HMA. The sample shall be obtained from the field using AASHTO T-168. Obtain a sufficient quantity of loose material to prepare the required number of specimens, plus additional back-up materi
