3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
7.3.2.2 Weigh the specimen according to the provisions of Table 11. Pour the specimen
onto a set of sieves (with sieve bottom), which are assembled from top to bottom,
according to the hole size. Then sieve.
7.3.2.3 Place the sieve set on the sieve shaker, to shake the sieve for 10 minutes.
Remove the sieve set and sieve by hand one by one, according to the size of the sieve
holes, until the throughput per minute is less than 0.1% of the total specimen mass. The
particles that have passed are merged into the next sieve, which are sieved together with
the specimen in the next sieve. In this order, make it pass all sieves. When the particle
size of the remaining particles is greater than 19.0 mm, it is allowed to use fingers to
stir the particles during the screening process.
7.3.2.4 Weigh out the screening residue of each size sieve.

accurate to 0.1%.
7.3.3.2 Calculate the cumulative screening residue percentage: The sum of the sub-
calculated screening residue percentages of this sieve and above sieves, which shall be
accurate to 1%. After screening, if the difference -- between the sum of the screening
residue of each sieve and the screening residue at the bottom of the sieve and the mass
of the specimen before screening -- exceeds 1%, the test shall be performed again.
