Coarse Aggregate Gradation: Test Sieves or Screen Trays?

April 04, 2021

<div><a href="/blog/coarse-aggregate-gradation"><img loading="lazy" src="/Content/Images/uploaded/blog/2021/April/coarse-aggregate-gradation.jpg" alt="Coarse Aggregate Gradation: Test Sieves or Screen Trays?" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100%; max-width: 700px;" /> </a></div><p>Does the particle size analysis of coarse aggregates always require a testing screen with large screen trays? In a situation where larger testing equipment is not available, there may still be ways to get the job done. Using conventional round test sieves for large particle sizes is less efficient, but still acceptable if done properly. We discuss test requirements, sieve capacities, and tips to help with equipment selection.</p>
