ASTM D693-03a

Standard Specification for Crushed Aggregate for Macadam Pavements (Withdrawn 2008)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers crushed aggregate suitable for use in the construction of dry- or water-bound macadam base courses and bituminous penetration macadam base and surface courses of pavements.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The inch-pound units, shown in parentheses, are for information only.
1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D04 on Road and Paving Materials, this specification was withdrawn in July 2008. This specification was withdrawn without replacement due to lack of use.
