ASTM D946/D946M-09a - 1.12.2009
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers asphalt cement for use in the construction of pavements.

1.2 This specification covers the following penetration grades:

40–50,

120–150, and

60–70,

200–300.

85–100,

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.
