ASTM C 786/C786M : 2010

1.1 This test method covers wet sieving techniques for determination of fineness of hydraulic cement and raw materials by means of the 300-μm (No. 50), the 150-μm (No. 100), and the 75-μm (No. 200) sieves.

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. Values in SI units [or inch-pound units] shall be obtained by measurement in SI units [or inch-pound units] or by appropriate conversion, using the Rules for Conversion and Rounding given in of measurements made in other units. Values are stated in SI units when inch-pound units are not used in practice.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
