SAND STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
FOR

FOR SHEET ASPHALT AND BITUMINOUS
CONCRETE PAVEMENTS1

A.S.T.M.Designation: D 162-29

These specifications are issued under the fixed designation D 162; the final
number indicates the year of original adoption as standard or, in the case of revision,
the year of last revision.

ISSUED AS TENTATIVE, 1923; ADOPTED, 1929.

Scope, 1. These specifications cover sand for use in the construction of
the surface course of sheet asphalt pavements and those types of
Physical bituminous concrete pavements in which sand predominates.
Properties.
2. The grains of the sand shall be clean, tough, rough-surfaced
and angular. The sand after drying shall be free from lumps or balls
of clay or of clay and sand. Before being incorporated into the paving
mixture it shall conform to the following requirements as to grading:

shall be made in accordance with the Standard Method of Mechanical
Analysis of Sand or Other Fine Highway Material, Except Fine Aggre-
gates Used in Cement Concrete (A.S.T.M. Designation: D 7) of
the American Society for Testing Materials.2

5. The method of sampling shall conform to the Standard Methods
of Sampling Stone, Slag, Gravel, Sand and Stone Block for Use as
Highway Materials, Including Some Material Survey Methods
(A.S.T.M. Designation: D 75) of the American Society for Testing
Materials.3

1Under the standardization procedure of the Society, these specifications are under the ju risdic-
tion of the A.S.T.M. Committee D-4 on Road and Paving Materials.
