SIEVE ANALYSIS (ASTM D 6913)

SIEVE ANALYSIS (ASTM D 6913)


Soils consist of particles of various shapes and sizes. This test is used to separate particles into size ranges and to determine quantitatively the mass of particles in each range. These data are combined to determine the particle-size distribution (gradation). This test method uses a square opening sieve criterion in determining the gradation of soil between the 3-in. (75-mm) and No. 200 (75-µm) sieves.
