The Procedure Combines The Two Test Methods. Sieve Analyses Determine The Gradation Or Distribution Of Aggregate Particles Within A Given Sample In Order To Determine Compliance With Design And Production Standards. Accurate Determination Of Material Smaller Than No. 200 (75 Μm) Cannot Be Made With Aashto T 27 Alone. If Quantifying This Material Is Required, It Is Recommended That Aashto T 27 Be Used In Conjunction With Aashto T 11. Following Aashto T 11, The Sample Is Washed Through A No. 200 (75 Μm) Sieve. The Amount Of Material Passing This Sieve Is Determined By Comparing Dry Sample Masses Before And After The Washing Process. This Procedure Covers Sieve Analysis In Accordance With Aashto T 27 And Materials Finer Than No. 200 (75 Μm) In Accordance With Aashto T 11. The Procedure Includes Two Method Choices, A And B.
