sieve analysis

START

Quartering the sample by using sample splitter.

Weight 3kg of coarse aggregate.

Dry the sample using furnace and cool it down.

Agitate the sample by placing in a mechanical shaker.

Determine the weight of each size increment by weighing the residue contained on each sieve.

Cumulative weight passing through each sieve is calculated as a percentage of the total sample weight.

Fineness modulus is calculated.
