· Sand particle shape. ASTM C 144 is specified in most architectural specifiions for the sand in mortars. This specifiion allows the use of both manufactured sand and natural sand. The specifiion states that manufactured sand consists of crushed stone or aircooled iron blast furnace slag, processed to ensure suitable particle shape as ...

The shape and texture of aggregate affects the properties of fresh concrete more than hardened concrete. Concrete is more workable when smooth and rounded aggregate is used instead of rough angular or elongated aggregate. Most natural sands and gravel from riverbeds or seashores are smooth and rounded and are excellent aggregates.

Before we get into exactly what types of sand there are and how each should be used, it would be a good idea to find out what sand actually is and where it comes from. Sand is essentially made from rocks that have been broken up and eroded over time and ground down to form much smaller particles. One of the primary ingredients of sand is silica.

The ideal sand media for intermittent sand filters is a coarse sand with an effective size between mm and mm. The media sand grains should be relatively uniform in size having a low Uc value (less than ) to promote movement of water and prevent clogging.

Sharp Sand. Sharp Sand, also known as Concrete Sand is a coarse sand with larger particles. This type of sand is typically used in concrete. φ scale 1 to 0 Size range 1/2 to 1 mm (– in) Builder's Sand.

Shape refers to geometrical characteristics such as round, angular, elongated, flaky, etc. Aggregate particles that are cubicle or spherical in shape and correct mineral composition are ideal for maximizing concrete strength. The use of flat and elongated aggregate particles should be avoided or at least limited to a minimum of 15 percent.

HORIBA systems have been used successfully for a range of soil and sediment appliions. The LA960 Particle Size Analyzer is uniquely qualified for soil and sediment samples since the dynamic range is the broadest of any system available. For solid samples where particle size exceeds 5 mm, the CAMSIZER can provide not only size, but also valuable shape information.
