ASTM D1073-16 (R2022) PDF Download

The ASTM D1073-16 (R2022) standard outlines the requirements for fine aggregate used in bituminous paving mixtures. The standard specifies that the aggregate must be sampled and tested to meet the prescribed requirements.

The scope of the standard states that it covers fine aggregate specifically for use in asphalt paving mixtures. It emphasizes that the specification is intended to describe material from a single source. If materials from multiple sources are blended to meet the grading requirements for asphalt paving mixtures, the grading requirements listed in Table 1 of the specification are not applicable. In such cases, the specifying or ordering agency should specify the alternative gradings and blend ratios to be supplied.

It is important to note that the standard includes explanatory material in the form of notes and footnotes. However, except for those found in tables and figures, these notes and footnotes are not considered as requirements of the standard.
