If your sieve test follows the less complicated ASTM D422, AASHTO T 27 or related procedures, your data entry process will be less complicated. For each sample that you sieve — both the original sample, and any samples you split then test -- you'll need to enter the sample mass (i.e., the mass of the material placed onto the top sieve of the sieve stack).
D422 Test Sample Mass
For each sieve stack, once you've entered your sample masses, it's time to enter your sieves and weight retained on each sieve. Click here for further instructions.
