Description

AASHTO T 255 – Standard Method of Test for Total Evaporable Moisture Content of Aggregate by Drying (ASTM C 566-97 (2004))

AASHTO T 255-00 (2021) is technically equivalent with ASTM C566-97(2004) except for the balance statement in Section 5.1.

This test method 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.
