Sand Equivalent Test, continued
The sand equivalent test is used to determine if a desired aggregate has enough dust or clay that it would disrupt the hot mix asphalt (HMA) or its performance. The test separates sand and clay, a comparative reading is determined between the suspended clay and the settled sand in the measuring cylinder. This testing can be used in combination with the Durability Index Test.
