AS 2891.1.1-2008 sets out procedures for obtaining samples of loose asphalt using manual or mechanical methods and includes sampling from stockpiles.

This Standard sets out procedures for obtaining samples of loose asphalt using manual or mechanical methods and includes sampling from stockpiles.The Standard also specifies methods for the preparation of bulk samples to produce test portions ready for testing. It does not include methods of sampling asphalt from a road pavement, whether compacted or not.NOTE: Guidance on the principles of obtaining samples of asphalt is given in Appendix A.
