4 Homogeneous Soils with Known Physical Property Valuesand A Range of Acceptable ASTM Test Results for 6 CommonlyUsed ASTM Physical Property Soils Tests

The ASTM Committee D18 Reference Soils and Testing Program hasproduced the following NEW ASTM Product.

These ASTM REFERENCE SOILS are available in 5 galloncolor-coded buckets representing a wide range of soil typestypically encountered in geotechnical and environmentalindustries.

• FAT CLAY (CH)

• LEAN CLAY (CL)

• SILT (ML)

• POORLY GRADED SAND (SP)

SOIL SUMMARY ANALYSIS SHEETS, containing the limits ofacceptable test results for the ASTM physical property testsperformed using the applicable reference soils are included witheach bucket of soil.

The Use of ASTM Reference Soils Allows You To:

• Perform the related tests, compare the results with theirknown property values, and see if your answer(s) fall within therange of acceptable results.

• Use as a teaching aid in soil testing course work.

• Monitor technicians, equipment, and overall laboratoryperformance on a routine basis.

• Facilitate and validate internal laboratory quality controlprograms, which should impact customer satisfaction and futurecontract work.

• Train new lab technicians or evaluate both field and on-sitelaboratories.

• "Document" your testing capabilities.

• Use to pre-qualify your lab to bid on contract work.

• Improve or refine existing methodology or to benchmark newprocedures under development.

• Conduct other research when a homogeneous, well-characterizedsoil sample is needed.

Note: For participants in laboratory accreditation programs, theASTM Reference Soils are valuable tools for establishing averifiable QC program for our accreditation body to consider.
