About This Item
ASTM D6928 is the ASTM standard for evaluating the resistance of coarse aggregate to degradation by abrasion in the Micro-Deval apparatus. It provides a controlled test method for assessing how aggregate particles respond to abrasive wear, which can be an important indicator of durability in use. For producers, purchasers, and laboratories, this standard helps support more consistent material evaluation and informed quality decisions when coarse aggregate performance matters.
What is ASTM D6928?
ASTM D6928 is a test method focused on measuring coarse aggregate resistance to abrasion using the Micro-Deval apparatus. In practical terms, it defines a laboratory procedure for exposing aggregate to abrasion and comparing results in a repeatable way. The method is intended to support technical evaluation rather than to describe the aggregate source itself. As an ASTM standard, it gives users a common reference for testing and reporting performance-related data.
Where is ASTM D6928 used?
This standard is commonly used in aggregate testing laboratories, materials quality control programs, and procurement or acceptance workflows where coarse aggregate durability needs to be checked. It is especially relevant when aggregate performance under abrasion is part of the specification or project requirement. ASTM D6928 may also be used by producers and agencies that need a consistent method for comparing coarse aggregate samples and documenting test results for review.
Why is ASTM D6928 important?
ASTM D6928 matters because abrasion resistance can influence how coarse aggregate performs in service, and consistent testing helps reduce uncertainty. By using a recognized test method, organizations can improve comparison between sources, support compliance reviews, and strengthen quality control decisions. It also helps align testing practices across labs and projects, which is valuable when evaluating materials for engineering use and managing performance risk.
