New Standard Terminology for Soils and Turfgrass for Sports Fields
1. Scope
1.1 This terminology defines soils and turfgrass-related terms for use in the development of standard test methods and specifications for sports and natural playing surfaces. 1.2 This terminology includes soils and related agronomic terms that pertain to natural surfaces used for sports and may include those surfaces supporting the growth of turfgrass or unvegetated (bare) playing surfaces that are constructed with natural materials.
1.3 The terms defined in this terminology are appropriate for use by sports field development professionals, owners and institutions, installers and contractors, and other practitioners in matters concerning natural surfaces evaluations, test methods, specifications, maintenance, and construction.
Keywords
athletics; aggregate
Rationale
This terminology is needed to clarify and harmonize terminology for sports field standards and usage of those terms in the industry. It applies to current standards as well as future standards and revisions. Users will include facility owners, superintendents, architects, engineers, and scientists.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
