The modulus of fineness is typically used to determine the aggregate’s coarseness or fineness. When the fineness modulus value is higher, the aggregate is coarser, and when it is lower, the aggregate is finer.Subtract the empty weight of each sieve to determine the weight of the material that was retained on that sieve.

Finding treasures on the beach can be an enjoyable endeavor. Many prospectors have seen some great success unearthing long-lost treasures swept in by the ocean. The results are presented in a graph of percent passing versus the sieve size. On the graph the sieve size scale is logarithmic. To find the percent of aggregate passing through each sieve, first find the percent retained in each sieve. To do so, the following equation is used, Concrete contractors can accurately predict how much water they will require to mix the concrete by using the fineness modulus.

A representative weighed sample is poured into the top sieve which has the largest screen openings. Each lower sieve in the column has smaller openings than the one above. At the base is a pan, called the receiver.

Dr. Tim: That's called the filtrate. And the filtrate is slightly clearer than before, though, it is still a little bit cloudy. And that's because some of the smaller pieces of sand have managed to pass through the filter paper into the water. This section does not cite any sources.

We’re not talking about the size of the hole the scoop can make. The hole size refers to the individual holes that sand is going to fall through. Dust each sieve in preparation for testing. And arrange them all in a hierarchy (highest at the top and smallest at the bottom) according to size. This is done to collect the sieved samples from the top sieve. The values are then plotted on a graph with cumulative percent passing on the y axis and logarithmic sieve size on the x axis. [6]

If a substance does not dissolve in a solvent, it is called insoluble. For example, sand does not dissolve in water, meaning it is insoluble.Texas Department of Transportation (January 2016). "Test Procedure for Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates" (PDF). Texas DOT . Retrieved 2016-12-24. Obviously, plastic is going to be as durable as metal. But it has one distinct advantage. It doesn’t corrode. The biggest issue you’re going to face with your tools on the beach is corrosion. Saltwater is an electrolyte that conducts ions. This results in a faster rate of corrosion than you’d see with freshwater. These solid brass sieves are a full eight inches in diameter and are the same type of sieves used by laboratories and universities for particle size analysis. W Below - The total mass of the aggregate within the sieves below the current sieve, not including the current sieve's aggregate. Sand with a fineness modulus greater than 3.2 is generally not used to make good concrete. Assessment of Fineness Modulus of Sand
