CONTAINED IN VOL. 04.09, 2015 Specifies the process and objective of calibrating the density system of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge, or formulating the mathematical relationship between the density system response (the 'density count') of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge and the corresponding density value of the density standard upon which the density system response was observed.

1.1This guide describes the process and objective of calibrating the density system of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge, or formulating the mathematical relationship between the density system response (the “density count”) of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge and the corresponding density value of the density standard upon which the density system response was observed.

1.2This guide describes the process and objective of calibrating the water content system of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge, or formulating the mathematical relationship between the water content system response (the “water content count”) of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge and the corresponding water mass per unit volume value of the water content standard upon which the water content system response was observed.

1.3This guide describes the process and objective of verifying the density system of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge.

1.4This guide describes the process and objective of verifying the water content system of a nuclear surface moisture and density gauge.

1.5This guide describes two mathematical processes by which the gauge measurement precision may be computed or measured.

1.6This guide offers guidance for developing and reporting estimates of uncertainties in measurements made with gauges that have undergone calibration or verification.

1.7All observed and calculated values shall confirm to the guide for significant digits and rounding established in Practice D6026.

1.8Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.9This guide does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this guide to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.10This guide offers an organized collection of information or a series of options and does not recommend specific course of action. This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a project’s many unique aspects. The word “Standard” in the title of this document means only that the document has been approved through the ASTM consensus process.
