ASTM International Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Apparent Specific Gravity of Rock and Manmade Materials for Erosion Control ASTM D5779-08e1

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the specific gravity of rock or man-made materials for erosion control. 1.2 This is a field test method to measure apparent specific gravity. For laboratory determination of bulk specific gravity see Test Method D6473. 1.3 Units-The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units in parentheses are given for information only. 1.4 All observed and calculated values shall conform to the guidelines for significant digits and rounding established in Practice D6026. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
