Aggregate Gradation: Testing Tips and Tricks
The C136 test method notes that an accurate minus 75µm (No. 200) fraction cannot be determined unless the ASTM C117 practice is incorporated into the gradation test. These two tests work together when needed, and the removal of the fines from the total mass of the sample is mathematically corrected when calculating results.

Particle Size Distribution Curve
Soil gradation is generally the classification of coarse grained soils based on the different particle sizes contained in the soil. Gradation curve is represented in two ways. In one type of graph particle size increases from left to right and in the other one particle size decreases from left to right.
