Define C117 The determination of the amount of material finer
than a 75-um (No.200) sieve
What is the significance of C136? -To determine the grading of materials,
-compliance of particle size distribution,
-provide data for control of production of various
aggregate
-developing relationships concerning porosity
and packing
