Sieves are used for a wide range of tests on Construction Materials including Soils and Aggregates. Determining the particle size distribution of a material enables the engineer to classify it and make conclusions about its suitability for the proposed design.
Grading of Aggregates is important in determining their compliance with the specification requirements and the control of aggregates used in various types of mixtures. A typical set of sieves as specified in ASTM C136 would include 1 each of sieves.
