1.1 本试验方法涵盖了使用方形开口筛网测定从沥青混合料中提取的细集料和粗集料粒度分布的程序。 1.2 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.3 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 3.1 本试验方法用于测定从沥青混合料中提取的骨料的级配。该结果用于确定颗粒尺寸分布是否符合适用规范要求，并为控制沥青混合料中使用的各种骨料的生产提供必要的数据。 注1: 本标准产生的结果的质量取决于执行程序的人员的能力以及所用设备的能力、校准和维护。符合规范标准的机构 D3666 通常被认为能够胜任和客观的测试、取样、检查等。 提醒本标准的用户遵守规范 D3666 单独使用并不能完全确保可靠的结果。可靠的结果取决于许多因素；遵循规范的建议 D3666 或者一些类似的可接受的指导方针提供了评估和控制其中一些因素的手段。

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determination of the particle size distribution of fine and coarse aggregates extracted from asphalt mixtures using sieves with square openings. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 3.1 This test method is used to determine the grading of aggregates extracted from asphalt mixtures. The results are used to determine compliance of the particle size distribution with applicable specifications requirements, and to provide necessary data for control of the production of various aggregates to be used in asphalt mixtures. Note 1: The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification D3666 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling, inspection, etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Specification D3666 alone does not completely ensure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; following the suggestions of Specification D3666 or some similar acceptable guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.
