The purpose of this test method is to indicate, under standard conditions, the relative proportions of clay-like or plastic fines and dust in granular soils and fine ‘aggregates that pass the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve. The term “sand equivalent” expresses the concept that most granular soils and fine aggregates are mixtures of desirable coarse particles, sand, and generally undesirable clay or plastic fines and dust. None 1—Some agencies perform the test on material with atop size smaller than the No.4 (4.7S-ma) sieve. This i done to avoid trapping the elay-ike or plastic fies and dust below Nak shaped No. 4t0 8 (4.75, 16 2.35 mos) sed parties. Testing smaller top sized material may Jower the numerical results OF tess. 1.2. Units of Measurement 1.2.1 With regard to sieve sizes and the size of aggregate as determined by the use of testing sieves, the values in inch-pound units are shown for the convenience of the user, however, the standard sieve designation shown in paren- theses is the standard value as stated in Specification F 11 1.2.2 With regard to mass, the values shown in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 1.2.3 With regard to other units of measure, the values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro- priate safety and health practices and determine the applica- Iality of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2, Referenced Documents 2.1 ASTM Standards: C125 Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete ‘Aggregates?

(For further expla- nation, see Summary of Test Method and Significance and Use) 3.1.3_soil—sediments or other unconsolidated accumula- tions of solid particles produced by the physical and chem ical disintegration of rocks which may or may not contain organic matter (see Terminology D 653), 4, Summary of Test Method 4.1 A measured volume of soil or fine aggregate and a small quantity of flocculating solution are poured into a graduated plastic cylinder and are agitated to loosen the
