This method describes the procedure for compacting cylindrical test specimens suitable for use in the determination of physical properties. The method is applicable to materials with a maximum nominal particle size of 40 mm (i.e. 100% passing the 37.5 mm sieve).

This method is an adaptation of the compaction process in the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads test method Q138 January 2017.

This test method can also be downloaded as a Word document.
