Notes : * - Delete as applicable |
** - Insert applicable BS test sieve size 2.36 mm for standard tests or from Table 3 if not. |
1 - Insert either : i) Maximum force applied to produce required penetration |
ii) Force estimated from AIV and used for test |
2 - Force (F) from previos determination if M is within the range of 7.5% - 12.5%, otherwise use an adjusted maximum test loading |
3 - Must equal M1 ± 10 g |
4 - To the nearest 10 Kn for forces of => 100 Kn or 5 Kn for forces of >100 Kn |
5 - Use Final Dry Wt. from moisture content constant weight check sheeet form over as applicable |
