    This document provides procedures and requirements for performing a sieve analysis test of fine and coarse aggregates according to ASTM C136/C136M. It lists the necessary equipment including balances, sieves, and an oven. It then details 21 steps for conducting the test, including drying samples, sieving for a set time period, weighing residue on sieves, and calculating percentages. Finally, it shows maximum allowable quantities of material that can be retained on different sized sieves.
