Fine Aggregates

The gradations prescribed may be manufactured by any suitable commercial

process and by the use of any sizes or shapes of plant screen openings
necessary to produce the sizes within the limits of the sieve analysis
specified.
The gradation of the material from any one source shall be reasonably
uniform and shall not be subject to the extreme percentages of gradation
represented by the tolerance limits of the various sieve sizes.
The gradation numbers and corresponding gradation limits are listed in the
following tables.
