ASTM D913-20 PDF Download

The ASTM D913-20 standard provides guidelines for evaluating the resistance to wear of pavement markings. The purpose of this practice is to determine the durability and longevity of pavement markings when subjected to road tests or real-world conditions.

It is important to note that while a pavement marking may exhibit high wear resistance on a bare pavement surface, the same level of performance may not be guaranteed when the marking is applied over old markings. This suggests that the presence of previous markings may affect the wear characteristics of the new marking.

The practice involves using photographic standards for comparative evaluation. By comparing photographs taken before and after the test or service period, the degree of wear can be assessed. This allows for objective analysis and comparison of different pavement markings in terms of their resistance to wear.
