The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is a soil classification system used in engineering and geology to describe the texture and grain size of a soil. The classification system can be applied to most unconsolidated materials, and is represented by a two-letter symbol.
Classify the following two soils, giving their AS 1726 symbols and descriptions: (a) A soil having Cu= 42 and Cc= 1.8, where 4% passed 0.075 mm sieve and 63% passed 2.36 mm sieve. (b) A soil where 61% is retained on 2.36 mm sieve, 20% passes 0.075 mm sieve and the fines have LL = 40 and PL = 28.

Selecting suitable test sieves with the correct openings ensures accurate particle sizing and characterization of soils, aggregates, grains, powders, and other materials while following ASTM and AASHTO standard test methods.
ASTM and ISO specifications establish requirements for wire diameter, aperture (opening) size, and other features of test sieves: 1. ASTM E11specifies technical requirements for standard, alternative, and supplementary sizes of woven wire sieve cloth, sieve construction, frame sizes, and inspection of sieves and sieve cloth for sieves from 125mm to...
Gilson test sieves are available with brass or stainless-steel frames fitted with brass or stainless steel woven-wire cloth meeting ASTM or ISO standards. Brass sieve cloth is limited to opening sizes from 2.36mm to 45µm (No. 8 to No. 325) for mounting in 8in or 12in (203mm or 305mm) brass frames. Although all stainless-steel sieves are more durabl...
This table lists nominal ASTM sieve sizes in standard millimeter (mm) or micrometer (µm) units, along with equivalent U.S. alternative sizes by inch and mesh number (No.) designation. ASTM E11 now designates supplemental metric sizes that fill in the gaps between ASTM and ISO sizes. Corresponding ISO sizes in mm/µm are included.
Sieve opening sizes were initially defined in ASTM standards using imperial (inch) units of measure for apertures 1/4in (6.3mm) or above. Mesh number sizes for finer sieve cloth were determined by counting the number of apertures per linear inch. So, a No. 4 Sieve would have four openings in every linear inch. ISO openings are described in millimet...
Different industries often specify a certain sieve size or set of sieve sizes to define particular material types. Particle sizing determinations are not limited to these sieve sizes, but they provide boundaries to classify the materials. The two examples shown below are for mineral aggregates used for the production of asphalt and concrete mixes, ...
Conventional ASTM or ISO sieves are constructed using woven wire mesh that has been measured and inspected in the bulk form before being mounted in the sieves. These accurate and reliable sieves are standard, off-the-shelf test sieves intended for everyday use. They are classified as Compliance sieves and supplied with certificates of manufacturing...
Sieves are subjected to hard use, whether in a sieve shaker or with manual sieve techniques. Sample loads cause distortion of the woven-wire mesh and abrasion results in a reduction of wire diameters, enlarging the openings beyond acceptable limits. Other options for ongoing validation of sieve accuracy and conformity are also available: 1. Reverif...
Sieve pans and coverscollect fine material passing the sieves and prevent sample loss during handling and testing. 1. Sieve pans are available in brass or stainless-steel models in full-height or half-height versions to adapt to your testing applications. Extended-rim sieve pans feature a built-in skirt for nesting in the middle of a sieve stack, a...
Backing cloth reinforces finer mesh sizes to stop sagging, tearing, and distortion of the mesh openings from repeated use. This factory-installed No. 30 (600µm) stainless steel backing preserves sieve accuracy and extends service life. Backing cloth can be ordered at the time of purchase for 8in or 12in (203mm or 305mm) diameter sieves with mesh si...
Classify the soils using the results of the manual tests and the identifying criteria shown in table 3-7. Possible inorganic soils include lean clay (CL), fat clay (CH), silt (ML), and elastic silt (MH). The properties of an elastic silt are similar to those for a lean clay.
The soil profile depth can vary from a few centimetres (cm) — in the case of a thin soil over rock — to several metres. The soil profile should be examined from the surface to a depth of between 80cm and 150cm to adequately describe the soil for most agricultural purposes. For trees and perennial shrubs with roots that reach greater

Geotechnical Classification Charts. Gilson’s selection of color and grain size charts and gauges are standard tools used by geologists, civil engineers, soil scientists, and other technicians in the visual and textural field classification of soils.
1.1 This practice describes a system for classifying mineral and organo-mineral soils for engineering purposes based on laboratory determination of particle-size characteristics, liquid limit, and plasticity index and shall be used when precise classification is required.
