Taking Representative Samples of Bituminous Binders From Road Tankers from Sampling Points Only
  • Publication no: AP-PWT56-17
  • Published: 30 August 2017

This work tip discusses the aspects of binder sampling that relate to achieving a representative sample to ensure that consistent and reliably representative samples are obtained so that any test results:

  • represent, as near as practicable, an average of a consignment or batch, or
  • detect any variation within a consignment or batch.
