CAUTION: Prior to handling test materials, performing equipment setups, and/or conducting
this method, testers are required to read “SAFETY AND HEALTH” in Section F of
this method. It is the responsibility of the user of this method to consult and use
departmental safety and health practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations before any testing is performed.

1. The impact compaction apparatus Prior to handling, testing or disposing of any waste
materials, testers are required to read: Part A (Section
should be checked once a year, or more
5.0), Part B (Sections: 5.0, 6.0 and 10.0) and Part C
often, depending on the frequency the (Section 1.0) of Caltrans Laboratory Safety Manual. Users

Mold Mold
Volume Length Volume Length
(g) (in) (g) (in)
NOTES:
Referring to the Calibration Form, the volume in g pertains to the average of three water volume
measurements of the lower 12-inch length of the mold (Item “d”). Mold length in inches refers
to the finished overall length of the mold (Item “3”).
The relationship between volume of the lower 12 inches of the mold and the overall length of
the mold is based on a tamper length of 23.3 inches.
EXAMPLE: If the volume of the lower 12 inches of the mold is found to be 1265 g, then
36.01 inches is the total length of the mold to record for Item 2.
