Straight Edge is the - ANS-Measurement of Pavement smoothness with a 15 foot 4.573
m rolling straightedge

rolling straightedge next to the manual straightedge and the gauge should read 0
The 3/16 and the 3/8 shims go under which wheels during calibration - ANS-The outside
wheels to measure the low and the center to measure the high. Gauge should read 3/16
on the 3/16 shim and vice versa for the 3/8 shims. Make sure the center wheel moves

and permeability

Diamond bit core drill
Size of core depends on test
Ice chest (Optional)
