RE: Asphalt gmb

You're probably shaking extra air bubbles loose from within the core, altering its buoyancy. As far as the logic behind an ASTM standard, I quit trying to understand it years ago.

Yes Tiger you are right because by doing so we bring changes in volume thats why buoyancy change buy why astm not allowed us to measure its accurate volume thats my concern
