PROCEDURE:- OBSERVATION TABLE :- SR No 1 2 3 4 Weight of aggregates (1)Make the Pycnometer dry &Weight it with its cap &rin g (2)Unscrew the cap &Rut 200 gms of aggregate &Weight it (3)Add water to the top of brass cap. Remove all the trapped dir by pouring additional water (4)Dry the Pycnometer & fell it to the top with & weight it (5)Repeat the Pro cedure (6)Find the average specific gravity by using formula Weight of empty pycnometer (W1)gm SAMPLE CALCULATION:- Weight of pycnometer +aggregate (W2) gm Average specific gravity = (W2-W1) Specific gravity = (W2-W1) – (W3-W4) G = Weight of pycnometer +water +aggrate (W3) gm RESULT:- Average specific gravity is found to be ___________ PRECAUTIONS:- DISCUSSIONS:- (1) Take the weight carefully. (2) Pycnometer must be dry for use. Weight of Pycnometer +water (W4) gm (3) There should be no air bubble inside the bottle. Specific gravity The value of specific gravity of aggregate is required for concrete mix design and useful for calculating water content. Stone having higher water absorptions values are porous and this weaker specific gravity also indicates strong specimen.
EXPERIMENT NO AIM: - To determine the Flash &Fire point for the sample of bitumen taken. APPARATUS: - Flash point set up, thermometer, heating arrangement etc. FIGURE:- THEORY: - This test gives up the indications of the critical temperatur e at which the suitable precautions should be taken while heating bitumen . Flash Point:-The temperature at which the volatile material i.e. bitumen emits vapours and it catches fire momentarily in the form of flash. Fire Point :-The temperature at which the volatile nature i.e. bitumen emits vapours get ignited and burns PROCEDURE: - The material is filled up to the mark of filling in the cup liquid is placed too dose to the cup .All accessories including thermometers are fixed .The sample is heated at rate of 50to60 0C/min. The first flash as applied at test 170 C below actual flash point. The flash point as taken as the temperature reading on the thermometer at the time of applications of flame that causes bright flash in the interior of cup. The heating is continuous till the material’s ignited. This gives the fire point. RESULT: - i) Flash Point = ii) Fire Point = DISCUSSION:- The bitumen material leaves out volatile at high temperature depending up on their grades. These volatile catch fire causing a flash. This condition is very hazardous. PRECAUTION: - APPLICATION: - If the candle is used as a flame then it should be seen that flame should not fall in the bitumen, otherwise it would give flame at less Temperature as wax will catch fir e. Bitumen is used in construction of pavements so the flash & fire point is determined to check for the amount of heating to avoid any accidents.
