This work shall consist of continuous thermal profiling of the asphalt mat temperature immediately behind the trailing edge of the paver screed plate during placement operations. This system includes a display that allows the operator in the field to view a pavement surface temperature contour plot and automatically stores and saves the data for later review. This standard practice is intended to be applied for construction quality control. All tasks are the contractor’s responsibility, unless designated otherwise within this provision. 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 nonconformance with the standard. This standard was formerly designated as provisional practice PP 80.
