ASTM F 2107 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Construction and Maintenance of Skinned Areas on Baseball and Softball Fields
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 1, 2007
Scope:
This guide covers techniques that are appropriate for the
construction and maintenance of skinned areas on baseball and
softball fields. This guide provides guidance for the selection of
materials, such as soil, sand, gravel, crushed stone, crushed
brick, calcined clay, calcined diatomaceous earth, vitrified clay,
etc., for use in constructing or reconditioning skinned areas and
for the selection of management practices that will maintain a safe
and playable skinned surface. Although this guide is specific to
baseball/softball, it has application to other sports where ball
bounce, ball roll, or player footing, or a combination thereof, are
of importance.
Decisions in selecting construction and maintenance techniques
are influenced by existing soil types, climatic factors, level of
play, intensity of use, equipment available, budget, and training
and ability of management personnel.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
