ASTM C566 Standard Test Method for Total Evaporable Moisture Content of Aggregate by Drying -- eLearning Course
About the Course
This course covers the determination of the percentage of evaporable moisture in a sample of aggregate by drying both surface moisture and moisture in the pores of the aggregate. Some aggregate may contain water that is chemically combined with the minerals in the aggregate. Such water is not evaporable and is not included in the percentage determined by this test method.
The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Identify apparatus and related components used for determination of the percentage of evaporable moisture, including source of heat and sample container.
- Recognize requirements for sampling aggregate.
- Recall procedure required for the determination of the percentage of evaporable moisture in a sample of aggregate, including procedure for expediting heating when using a hot plate.
- Recall procedure for calculating total evaporable moisture content.
