    This document summarizes the results of a combined wash loss and gradation test on a sample. It provides the mass retained on each sieve after dry and wet sieving, from which the percent passing each sieve and pan can be calculated. It asks whether the test is valid, to determine the fineness modulus (FM), and to calculate the total percent passing the #200 sieve using the combined dry and wet sieving masses caught in the pan.

    Original Description:

    example for ACI lab 1

    Is it a valid test?

    What is the FM?

    What is the total percent passing #


    200 sieve?

    Note: Total mass of passing the #200 sieve =

    mass passing the #200 sieve by washing + mass passing the #200 sieve by
    dry sieving
