Graph:

Explanation:
The vertical axle of the grading curve represents in % the weight of the particles passing through
each sieve and the horizontal axle the sieve opening.
In the example, in the first sieve, with an opening of 16 mm, 100 % of the weight of the aggregate
particles passed through, in the second sieve with 8 mm opening, 98,8 %, which means that 1,2 %
of the aggregate particles have a size between 8 and 16 mm.
The particles between 4 and 8 mm represent 38,2 % of the total of the aggregate, those between 2
and 4 mm represent 10,6 %, and so on. In this way, the curve with all particle sizes is built up.
