1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out the method for the determination of particle size distribution in
coarse and fine aggregates and fillers for asphalt by sieving. The amount passing a 75 µm
sieve may be determined using AS 1141.12 or by this method when samples are washed
over a 75 µm sieve. If the percentage of material passing a 75 µm sieve is specified, the
procedures detailed in Clause 5.6 of this method or in AS 1141.12 apply.
The procedure for the determination of fine particle size distribution by decantation is
described in AS 1141.19.

3 DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Standard the definitions in AS 1141.1 and those below apply.
3.1 Graded aggregate
An aggregate of which more than 15% (by mass) of the total material is retained on at least
three consecutive sieves in the set 75.0 mm, 37.5 mm, 26.5 mm, 19.0 mm, 13.2 mm,
9.50 mm, 6.70 mm, 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 0.600 mm and 0.075 mm. Crushed rock that
consists of a mixture of fine and coarse aggregates, the coarse fraction being graded, is
considered a graded aggregate for the purpose of this definition.
