This guidance establishes procedures for the inspection, testing and acceptance of aggregate for
surfacing.

==1006.1 Procedure==
Inspection, testing, and sampling will be governed by the instructions
contained in [[:Category:1001 General Requirements for Material|General Requirements for Material]].

Field tests required are as follows:

Samples required for Laboratory tests are as follows:
:(a) Initial Evaluation required if material has never been tested before.

==1006.2 Acceptance==
Acceptance is based on routine tests in the field to ensure compliance with [http://modot.mo.gov/business/standards_and_specs/Sec1006.pdf Sec 1006]. Samples are to be taken at destination or at the source of aggregate production by MoDOT inspectors at intervals of one per 2,000 tons.  For small quantity jobs see Sec 1006.

==1006.3 Records and Reports==
All plant records shown in [[:Category:1001 General Requirements for Material#1001.5 Records and Reports|General Requirements for Material - Records and Reports]] shall be maintained. The aggregates shall be reported through SiteManager in accordance with [http://wwwi/intranet/cm/materials/vol_3/AS3510.pdf Automation Section 3510].

==1006.4 Laboratory Procedure for Sec 1006==
===1006.4.2 Types of Samples Tested===
====1006.4.2.1 Initial Approval Sample====
Tests consist of specific gravity, absorption, and Los Angeles abrasion. The minimum time required for completion of tests is four working days from the date received. Test results and calculations shall be recorded through SiteManager.

===1006.4.3 Procedure===
====1006.4.3.1 Sieve Analysis====
Aggregate shall be tested in accordance with AASHTO T 27.

====1006.4.3.2 Specific Gravity and Absorption====
Aggregate shall be tested according to AASHTO T 85 for Bulk Specific Gravity.

====1006.4.3.3 Los Angeles Abrasion====
Aggregate shall be tested in accordance with AASHTO T96.

====1006.4.3.4 Deleterious Content====
The percentage of deleterious substances in coarse aggregate shall be determined according to [[106.3.2.71 TM-71, Deleterious Content of Aggregate|TM-71, Deleterious Content of Aggregate]]. Where field determinations show a total deleterious content of 4.0 percent or less, including not more than 2.5 percent mud balls, the deleterious content is to be inspected visually. The sample is to be tested if visual inspection indicates more than 4.0 percent total deleterious material present in the sample. Source approval samples shall always be tested regardless of the content of deleterious material.

===1006.4.4 Sample Record===
The sample record shall be completed in SiteManager, as described in [http://wwwi/intranet/cm/materials/vol_3/AS3510.pdf Automation Section 3510], and shall indicate acceptance, qualified acceptance, or rejection. Appropriate remarks, as described in [[106.20 Reporting|EPG 106.20 Reporting]], are to be included in the remarks to clarify conditions of acceptance or rejection. Test results shall be reported on the appropriate templates under the Tests tab.
