MODEL 45-9300 (AP-132) GENERAL INFORMATION The 45-9300 (AP-132) Vacuum Pycnometer is designed to be used in determining the theoretical maximum specific gravity of bituminous paving mixtures, using the procedure described in ASTM standard test method D 2041 for type F containers. This large capacity (approximately 10 liters) unit can easily handle samples up to 13.2 lbs (6 kg),...
(30 mm) Hg or less for 5 to 15 minutes. During this vacuum period, agitate the pycnometer vigorously by shaking it with both hands at intervals of about 2 minutes to release all the air bubbles. ELE International, Inc. PO Box 608 Loveland, CO 80539...
