About This Item
ASTM D5313/D5313M is a technical standard for evaluating the durability of rock used in erosion control under wetting and drying conditions. It is designed to help users assess how rock material may perform when repeatedly exposed to moisture changes, which can affect long-term reliability in field applications. For procurement, testing, and quality control, this standard supports more consistent evaluation of erosion control rock against a defined ASTM method.
What is ASTM D5313/D5313M?
ASTM D5313/D5313M, Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Durability of Rock for Erosion Control Under Wetting and Drying Conditions, provides a structured way to examine how rock responds to cyclic wetting and drying. The focus is on durability as it relates to erosion control use, where material performance matters over time. As an ASTM standard, it helps create a common technical basis for comparing rock quality and supporting informed acceptance decisions.
Where is ASTM D5313/D5313M used?
This standard is commonly used in projects that specify rock for erosion control and related stabilization work. It is relevant when material durability needs to be checked before use in applications where repeated exposure to water and drying can occur. ASTM D5313/D5313M is often used by laboratories, specifiers, suppliers, and project teams involved in evaluating rock for quality and suitability under defined testing conditions.
Why is ASTM D5313/D5313M important?
ASTM D5313/D5313M matters because it gives buyers and technical teams a repeatable method for assessing whether rock may remain suitable under environmental cycling. That can reduce risk in material selection, support compliance with project requirements, and improve consistency across testing programs. It also helps standardize communication between suppliers, labs, and specifiers when durability is an important factor in erosion control performance.
