Test#12 Material Finer 75 Micron Sieve (ASTM C117-90)


Material finer than 75mi (ASTM C 117-90)


This test method covers determination of the amount of material finer than 75 micron ( No. 200) sieve in aggregate by washing clay particles and other aggregate particles that are dispersed by the wash water  as well as the water soluble materials , will be removed from aggregate during test

Test#11 Fineness Modulus


Determination of fitness modulus on fine aggregate (AASHTO M6)


Fitness Modulus results from a calculation on using data from a sieve analysis. The sieves used for sand are typically  the 0.15mm (No.100) 0.30 (No.50) , 0.60mm(No. 30 ) , 1.18mm (No.16) , 2.36mm (No.8) and the 4.75mm (No.4)
