Temp every load monitored if - ....ANSWER...Mix
within master range
Differes for a single load from established temp by
+-25°F
Avg of five loads differes by +-15°F
Monitor until within tolerance

....ANSWER...If they don't have a calibration chart you
can not use them to distribute tack
Application rate of tack for close graded mixes -
....ANSWER...Normal: 0.02-0.08 gal/yd^2 Must
apply temperature correction factor
After placing the simple level on the pavement then you
- ....ANSWER...Raise the down end of the level until it
is level (bubble center)
After the simple level is lifted until it is level you
measure what - ....ANSWER...The length of the simple
level and the height between the (previously down) end
of the level to the pavement
Formula to calculate the manual cross slope -
