Ms-4 93 size is 25 mm (1 in.), The nominal maximum size is 19 mm (% in). A paving mixture is classified according to either its maximum size or its nominal maximum size. Therefore, according to the maximum size of the aggregate described in the example, the mix would be termed a 25mm (1 in.) mix; according to its nominal maximum size, the mixture would bea 19mm (%4 in.) mix. Sieve numbers and sizes most often used in grading aggregate for asphalt paving mixes are shown in Figure 3.6. ‘Mix Designation and Nominai Maximum Size of Aggregate Sieve Size 375mm = 26.0mm = 19.0mm 125mm 9.5. mm ‘ie in) (in) (is in.)

The wide difference in the specitic gravity of various aggregates, as well a8 a considerable difference in absorplicn, results in a com: paratively wide range in the limiting amount of asphalt cement spacitied. The amount of asphalt required for 2 QWven mixture should be determined by appronriate laboratory testing or on the basis of past experience with similar mixtures, of by a combination of both.
