The Graded Standard Sand #30-#100, 50lb Bag (Cube Test Sand) is classified as coarse grained due to its particle size distribution between No.30 (600µm) and No.100 (150µm) sieves. Meets ASTM C 109 and C 778 and AASHTO T 106 specifications for physical and chemical properties for construction materials.

Coarse grained soils like this sand are classified based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).

  • Sieve sizes: No. 30 (600µm) to No. 100 (150µm)

  • Weight: 50 pounds (22.7 kg)

  • Material: Nearly pure quartz

  • Source: Ottawa, Illinois, USA

  • Sieve analysis: To determine soil gradation and classification with sieve analysis

Fine grained soils are classified differently, with more than 50% passing through a No. 200 sieve.

This sand for ASTM tests is naturally rounded silica sands of nearly pure quartz from the Ottawa, Illinois area. The grading between No. 30 (600µm) and No. 100 (150µm) sieves meets the strict specifications for ASTM C 109 and C 778 and AASHTO T 106. It’s the perfect material for running precise and accurate ASTM tests for construction, engineering and research professionals.

The importance of soil gradation in determining engineering properties cannot be overstated, as it affects parameters such as compressibility and shear strength.

The range of grain sizes in the sand influences its classification and suitability for various applications.

Applications:

The 50lb bag is a convenient size for various testing applications. It’s ideal for cube tests and other tests that require consistent and accurate grading. The Graded Standard Sand is suitable for ASTM tests including AASHTO T 106, ASTM C 109 and ASTM C 778. It’s perfect for professionals who need reliable test results.

Gravel is another component often considered in soil classification.

Material Safety Data Sheet:

For more information on handling and safety, see the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) included with the product. This includes handling, storage and disposal guidelines to meet safety regulations.

Meets Test Methods:

Specially graded sand, which consists of one or two grain sizes, contrasts with specially graded sand.

The soil classification system, including the USCS and AASHTO systems, is essential for determining soil properties.

The unified soil classification system is crucial in geotechnical engineering for understanding soil behavior and properties.

The Graded Standard Sand #30-#100, 50lb Bag (Cube Test Sand) is from Ottawa, Illinois for quality and consistency. Products made in the USA meet strict quality control standards so you can trust the fill material for your testing needs. Whether you’re testing in California, Texas, New York or any other state, you can trust the quality and performance of our sand.

Uniform sand is relevant in the AASHTO system for categorizing different types of aeolian sands.

Well graded sand, with its mixture of fine, medium, and coarse grains, is essential for understanding soil behavior.

Well graded soil, containing a full spectrum of grain sizes, is significant for evaluating engineering properties.

The Cube Test Sand is a poorly graded sand for ASTM tests, including cement cube testing. It’s high quality, naturally rounded silica sands of almost pure quartz from the Ottawa, Illinois area. Classified under various soil classification systems, it is graded between No. 30 (600µm) and No. 100 (150µm) sieves, meeting ASTM C109 and C778 and AASHTO T 106 specifications. The precise grading ensures consistent and accurate results for construction, engineering and research professionals.

The USCS plays a crucial role in categorizing this sand based on its grain sizes and plasticity, ensuring its suitability for various geotechnical engineering applications.

The Cube Test Sand is a poorly graded sand, meaning it has a range of grain sizes within its classification. This is important for cement cube testing as it ensures uniformity coefficient and accuracy of test results. The sand’s high specific gravity and uniform grading makes it good for concrete applications, stability and strength. Also good for other testing methods, versatile and reliable for various applications.

Well graded sand, which contains a mixture of fine, medium, and coarse grains, is crucial for understanding soil behavior and is classified according to systems such as the USCS.

The Cube Test Sand meets the standards set by the USCS:

  • ASTM C109: Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Hydraulic Cement Mortars (Using 2-in. or [50-mm] Cube Specimens)

  • ASTM C778: Standard Specification for Standard Sand

  • AASHTO T 106: Standard Method of Test for Compressive Strength of Hydraulic Cement Mortars (Using 2-in. or [50-mm] Cube Specimens)

These standards ensure our sand is good for precise and accurate testing so you can trust the results.

In the context of the USCS, poorly graded soil typically contains a limited range of particle sizes, which can affect its performance and behavior in geotechnical applications.

The Cube Test Sand is a good and reliable sand for cement cube testing and concrete applications. Its graded and uniform grading makes it good for applications where consistency and accuracy is important. The importance of graded soil in achieving consistent and accurate results cannot be overstated. Also good for soil classification and testing. Whether you’re testing for construction projects or research purposes, our sand gives you dependable and reproducible results.

Well graded soil, containing a full spectrum of grain sizes, is crucial for evaluating engineering properties like compressibility and shear strength, making it highly relevant in geotechnical engineering.
