ASTM D6926 Standard Practice For Preparation of Bituminous Specimens Using Marshall Apparatus Compaction Hammers

Specimens for the Marshall test are compacted using a 4.54 kg hammer dropped from 457 mm, forming cylinders about 63 mm high and 101 mm in diameter. Mixtures are conditioned for 1-2 hours at 8-11 degrees Celsius above compaction temperature before compacting in the mold with paper layers. Compacted specimens are tested within 24 hours after reaching room temperature, with testing completed within 30 seconds of removal from the water bath.
