Chapter 6 Sampling and Testing
Section 1 Sample Types and Frequencies
6-101 General Sampling and testing materials or products and quality of work must be in strict accordance with contract specifications. Sampling and testing are of equal importance. Samplers must be familiar with materials handling and processing methods as well as contract requirements. Their knowledge of testing must be suffi cient to ensure compatibility between samples and test procedures. It is the resident engineer’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the sampler. The sampler should report any hazardous conditions encountered to the resident engineer. The district weights and measures coordinator inspects material production plants for safety in areas that the sampler will enter.
6-102 Types of Sampling and Testing Caltrans uses the following types of sampling and testing.
6-102A Preliminary Tests Preliminary tests are tests made before award of a contract. Construction personnel rarely sample for preliminary tests. Such tests are used for design purposes to provide data for the materials information package for prospective bidders.
6-102B Initial Samples and Tests Initial samples and tests are performed on materials proposed for use in the project. These tests determine whether proposed materials or products meet specifications. Construction personnel may sample potential sources. Tests may be performed by the district materials laboratory or the Office of Materials Engineering and Testing Services, (METS) depending on their respective capabilities. Soils and aggregate samples to be tested by METS must be forwarded by the district materials laboratory. Do not send them directly to METS. Sampling and testing potential source materials is not mandatory unless specified. Charge the contractor for the cost of sampling and testing potential sources in accordance with Section 6, “Control of Materials,” of the Standard Specifications. The normal time required for complete testing of potential sources is as follows:
Table 6-1.1 Time Required for Source Testing Aggregates for bituminous mixtures 2 weeks Aggregates for cement treatment 4 weeks Aggregates for concrete mixture 4 weeks Aggregates for concrete pavement 60 days Screenings 2 weeks Soils 3 weeks Untreated base materials 3 weeks

6-102C Acceptance Tests Acceptance tests are those performed on materials that will be incorporated into the work. Begin sampling as soon as the material is delivered or in place. Continue acceptance testing as work progresses. Sample materials entering the work at the locations specified in the Standard Specifications or special provisions. If a sampling location is not specified, sample where the tables at the end of this section indicate. Sample products such as portland cement concrete, concrete treated base, and asphalt concrete randomly. The following table shows turnaround times required for specifi c acceptance tests a Caltrans materials laboratory performs:

Sample Types and Frequencies 6-1.2
6-102C (1) Priority of Testing Samples Mark form TL-0101s, “Sample Identification Card,” “Priority,” or “Normal.”
6-102C (1a) Priority Use the priority designation for the first few samples of each construction material and for all acceptance samples and tests of bituminous mixtures. Continue using the priority designation until the resident engineer has assurance that the material being produced is of consistent quality. Use the priority designation for samples if the material being supplied is of questionable quality or if the operation or the source of the material changes. Indicate if a preference exists for telephone, faxed, or emailed test results on form TL-0101, along with the phone number of the person who is to receive them. 6-102C (1b) Normal For tests on samples from potential sources and for samples on materials entering the work after the resident engineer has assurance that the material is of consistent acceptable quality, use the normal designation. Reports on tests with normal designations are distributed by mail.
6-102C (2) Certification of Samplers and Testers All acceptance testers require certification. No tests or samples are to be taken on Caltrans projects unless the tester is certified in the test being performed. The Quality Independent Assurance Manual covers in detail the training and certification of samplers and testers.
6-102D Independent Assurance Sampling and Testing The district materials engineer has responsibility for the independent assurance sampling and testing. See the Independent Assurance Manual published by METS for details. The district materials unit keeps results of independent assurance samples and tests. If any assurance test fails, the tester will immediately notify the resident engineer by phone.
6-102E Federal Highway Administration Samples and Tests When the project includes federal funding, a representative of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) may select samples or sample locations. Label the samples that FHWA directs “FHWA Check Samples,” and send them to either the district materials laboratory or METS for testing. FHWA, the district materials engineer, and the resident engineer receive copies of test results for check samples.
6-102F Special Samples and Tests Specific problems such as roadway failures, difficulty in achieving required densities, or inconsistent test results may require special samples and tests. When such material problems are encountered, contact the district materials engineer. The district materials engineer may request help from the Division of

6-104 Test Result Summary
6-105 Field Tested Material Sample Identification
Construction or METS. The unit that requests a research project will provide oversight for special investigations and sampling.
6-103 Acceptance Records Keep records of all samples and tests in the project files as permanent job records. Materials incorporated into the project, represented by failing tests, must be documented in the project files also. For more information on procedures to follow in the case of failing tests refer to Section 3-6, “Control of Materials,” of this manual. It is not necessary to secure separate samples for each project when two or more projects receive materials from the same source. File a copy of the test report with each project.
6-104 Test Result Summary Monitor acceptance testing by using form CEM-3701, “Test Result Summary.” Corrective action or retesting failing tests must be noted in the “Remarks” column of the form.
6-105 Field Tested Material Sample Identification Prepare form TL-0101, “Sample Identification Card,”adhering to the following details: • Fill in every blank space with complete information, including the quantity
and lot of the material sampled. • On the same day the sample is shipped, distribute copies as shown on the
form. • The “Location of Source” must clearly indicate the place where the sample
was obtained. • For liquid asphalts, paving asphalts, and asphaltic emulsions, include the
refinery designations and shipment number. This data is available from the certificate of compliance that accompanies the materials.
• For asphalt concrete samples, be sure to: 1. Identify the plant producing the material. 2. Include the type of mix and maximum size of aggregate the sample
represents. 3. Under “Remarks,” include the grade and source of the bituminous
binder in the sample. 4. Under “Remarks,” record the percentage of bituminous binder the
engineer designates. • Be sure that the Sample Identification Card indicates the use for which
the material is intended so that the proper tests will be performed. This is especially important for electrical conductors, since the applicable specifications depend on where and how the conductor is to be used. Without this information, the testing engineer does not know what specification to use in determining compliance.
California Department of Transportation • Construction Manual • July 2001
Sample Types and Frequencies 6-1.4
• Indicate whether it is intended to crush oversize material or if any special blends are contemplated for potential sources of aggregate testing.
• To protect the Sample Identification Card against moisture or stains, place it in an oil and waterproof envelope.
6-106 Contractor-Requested Sampling and Testing from Local Deposits
When charging the contractor for testing local materials as specifi ed in Section 6-2, “Local Materials,” of the Standard Specifications note this under “Remarks” on Form TL-0101. The district materials laboratory will advise the resident engineer of the amount of the charges.
6-107 Shipping of Samples When shipping samples from the job to the laboratory, use the most economical mode of transportation available, consistent with the time required. Do not ship samples cash-on-delivery to METS.
6-108 Project Certification Send a materials certification memorandum to the Division of Construction upon completion of each project. File a copy of the memorandum in the job files and forward the original to the Division of Construction as soon as possible, preferably with submission of the final or semifinal estimate. Note all non-conforming materials on the memorandum, including those accepted at reduced pay factors under acceptance specifications. For federally funded projects, submit the memorandum early enough to expedite the voucher submission to FHWA. A construction engineer must sign the materials certification memorandum, a sample of which follows.
