About DensityAbout Density
The administrative settings and data defined in the Density tab apply to Density Testing and Gauge Standardization.
Settings
The Settings area on the Soil tab is where the client-determined range for Upper and Lower Specified Compaction % is defined. These values are used in the test calculation to determine if Compaction passes, unless they are overridden by project-specific values in the Project Specifications area or Field.
Test Type
In this section you can activate or deactivate different density Test Types. For example, if you do not perform Sand Cone testing, you could deactivate this Test Type.
...
This is where you define the different types of material on which your organization performs bituminous density testing. You can define Minimum and Maximum specified compaction at a global level for each material. These specifications can may be override by project specifications or altered in Field. You can also identify if a failing bituminous tests will require retesting.
Soil Classification
Within Soil Classification you can define a Lower and Upper Moisture Tolerance for all soil classifications. You will also need to add the soil classification Codes used by your organization. For each soil classification you can further define moisture testing requirements specific to that classification.
Suppliers
Under Suppliers (withing Density Testing) you can you can add the various bituminous suppliers within your service area. You also can associate bituminous plants as well as bituminous mix designs with each supplier.
...
- A supplier must exist in the system before a plant or mix design can be added for that supplier.

Standards
Under Density Testing, you can identify the standard (such as an ASTM or DOT) specific to sampling or testing in field density. These choices will display in Field, allowing the user to identify the standard that was followed.

You can select a standard to default in the field by selecting the default option. If multiple standards are added for the same measurement, a user will be able to override the default in Field. |
...
Custom remark codes and descriptions can be define for each Density Test Type. The remark code and description will display on various Density Testing reports. Remark code A and B are defaulted by the system. In Field or QC you can override these default values.
| Info | ||

MetaField™ will default codes A and B. You have the option of changing the description for each of these codes. |

The Test Administration area allows you to move Density Tests to other projects or delete them. This area should be used when an incorrect test cannot be resolved by users using the controls available in Field and Quality Control.Common problems addressed are, such as:
Field user enters a Density Test on the wrong project.
Field user enters an invalid Density Test that the project manager wishes to delete.
...
Enter the project number of the test(s) to be addressed.
Select the checkbox of the test(s) you would like to delete or move.
Select the appropriate button; Delete or Move
Follow the resulting prompts.
