3-7-14 Calibration Tank/System
Inspection. See figure 3-50.
The asphalt calibration tank requires a minimal amount of maintenance. The components are installed and removed as
necessary during the asphalt calibration procedure.
A.
Inspection
1.
Inspect the electrical cable and the load cell for damage. A damaged cable will not provide an accurate
reading. Repair or replace the cable and/or the load cell as necessary.
2.
Inspect the chains and links on which the tank is suspended. Replace these if they are damaged.
3.
Inspect the tank. If a large build up of asphalt has accumulated inside the tank, steam clean the tank to
remove the build up. Check the support straps for cracks or damage. Repair as required.
4.
Inspect the calibration weight supports. If these are bent, cracked or show any damage, remove the
weights and repair as required.
5.
Inspect the complete frame. Look for cracks, damage or bent components. Repair any damaged areas.
The frame cannot contact the tank during the calibration process and therefore cannot be bent.
