ASTM D6932/D6932M-08

1.1 This guide covers the construction of bituminous open-graded friction course plant mixtures. End-use specifications should be adopted to conform to job and user requirements. Where applicable, Specification D 3666 should be applied as a minimum for agencies testing and inspecting road and paving materials.

1.2 Bituminous open-graded friction courses are placed as the final wearing course for highways and airfields.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
