APPARATUS. Balance—The balance shall have sufficient capacity, be readable to 0.1 percent of the sample mass, or better, and conform to the requirements of M 231. …

Wash the coarse aggregate through 4.75 mm IS sieve and dry the material retained on the sieve in an oven maintained at a temp of 105 to 110 0 C, till it attains a constant mass. Sieve the dried sample to separate it into different size fractions using sieves of sizes 80 mm, 63 mm, 40 mm, 20 mm, 10 mm, 4.75 mm.

the 75 μm (No. 200 sieve is critical to the proposed use, the district laboratory engineer has the authority to require a washed gradation in addition to or in place of dry sieving. These methods are not to be used alone for sieve analysis of aggregates recovered from asphaltic mixtures or for the sieve analysis of mineral fillers.

For aggregate testing, Humboldt provides a large selection of sieves including ASTM testing sieves in a variety of sizes and mesh configurations. These sieves can be used in all types of sieve testing applications, from sampling and classification of soils, aggregates and other powdered and granular materials to specific ASTM standard tests.
