About This Item
ASTM D6932/D6932M is a technical guide for materials and construction of open-graded friction course plant asphalt mixtures. It helps define a consistent framework for selecting materials and understanding how these mixtures are produced and used in pavement applications. As an ASTM standard, it supports clearer communication among owners, engineers, and suppliers when evaluating performance-related requirements for this type of asphalt mixture.
What is ASTM D6932/D6932M?
This standard provides guidance for the materials and construction of open-graded friction course plant asphalt mixtures, which are designed for specialized pavement surfacing applications. ASTM D6932/D6932M is intended to support consistent technical decisions around mixture composition and construction practices rather than serve as a broad pavement manual. It is commonly used as a reference when project teams need a shared basis for specifying or reviewing these asphalt mixtures and their expected field application.
Where is ASTM D6932/D6932M used?
The standard is typically used in highway and pavement projects where open-graded friction course mixtures are considered for surface layers. It may be referenced by agencies, contractors, and materials laboratories involved in asphalt plant production, mix design review, and construction oversight. ASTM D6932/D6932M is especially relevant when a project calls for a guide to materials and construction practices for this specific type of asphalt mixture.
Why is ASTM D6932/D6932M important?
ASTM D6932/D6932M matters because it helps align expectations for material selection, mixture preparation, and construction-related quality control. Using a recognized ASTM standard can support more consistent procurement and technical review, while reducing confusion during specification development. For projects involving open-graded friction course plant asphalt mixtures, the guide can be useful for improving compliance checks and helping stakeholders evaluate whether a proposed mix and construction approach fit the intended application.
