703.2(c) 703.3(a) No. 100 and Table D. This test is not required for aggregate processed through a mechanical dryer for use in asphalt concrete; however, the aggregate is required to be clean and free of fines that would adversely affect the coating of the aggregate with asphalt material. This test is not required for AASHTO No. 10 aggregates.

5.Crushed Fragments. ASTM D 5821
6.Deleterious Shale. Determine the percentage of deleterious shale by four cycles of wetting and

drying according to PTM No. 519 . The LTS will use petrographic analysis to confirm the results.

7.Friable Particles. Percent loss according to PTM No. 620 .
8.Coal or Coke. Determine the percentage of mass (weight) by visual identification and hand

separation. If required, the LTS will use petrographic analysis to confirm the results.

9.Glassy Particles. Determine the percentage of mass (weight) by visual identification and hand

separation. Pieces of slag containing more than 50% glass are considered to be glassy particles. Waste glass is also considered to be glassy particles. For coarse aggregate used in cement concrete, the maximum percentage of glassy particles allowed is 4%. For other uses, the maximum percentage of glassy particles allowed is 10%. Coarse aggregate containing glassy particles consisting of waste glass may not be used in cement concrete or asphalt wearing courses.

10.Metallic Iron. The LTS will use petrographic analysis to determine the content of metallic iron.

Pieces of slag containing metallic iron are considered to be metallic iron. This requirement is waived if aggregate with metallic iron is used in asphalt mixtures or subbase. PTM No. 518.

11.Clay Lumps. Determine the percentage of mass (weight) by visual identification and hand

separation. If required, the LTS will use petrographic analysis to confirm the results.

12.Specific Gravity and Absorption. AASHTO T 85.
13.Bulk Density (Unit Weight) and Voids. AASHTO T 19.
(d)Testing and Acceptance. Section 703.5(b)

703.3SELECT GRANULAR MATERIAL (2RC) —

(a)General. Select granular material consists of durable bank or crushed gravel, stone, or slag mixed

or blended with suitable filler materials to provide a uniform mixture. Obtain select granular material from a source listed in Bulletin 14 . Stockpile, sample, and
