Table 11 Operational Tolerances

Description Test Method Allowable Difference Between Trial Batch and JMF1 Target

Allowable Difference from Current JMF Target

Individual % retained for #8 sieve and larger Tex-200-F or

Tex-236-F

Must be within master grading limits

in Table 8

±6.01

Individual % retained for sieves smaller than #8 and larger than #200 ±4.01

% passing the #200 sieve ±2.01

Asphalt binder content, % Tex-236-F ±0.5 ±0.5

Laboratory-molded density, % Tex-207-F ±1.0 ±1.5 VMA, %, min Tex-204-F Note2 Note2

1. When within these tolerances, mixture production gradations may fall outside the master grading limits; however, the % passing the #200 will be considered out of tolerance when outside the master grading limits.

2. Mixture is required to meet Table 8 requirements.
