INFLUENCE OF HALF-HEIGHT SIEVES AND OF INCOMPLETE SIEVE NESTS ON WET SIEVE AGGREGATE ANALYSES THE Regional NC-17 Committee in January 1955 adopted as a standard wet-sieving procedure, a slight modification of the procedure given in U.S.D.A. Handbook No. 60. Since the wet-sieving procedure is quite arbitrary, a standardized procedure is desirable. The standard procedure calls for nests of 2-, 1-, 0.5-, 0.25-, and 0.1-mm. fullheight sieves and a wet sieving apparatus with a 1.5-inch stroke at 30 cycles per minute. The most common departures from the standard procedure include the omission of the 0.1-mm. sieve, use of single sieves rather than a nest of screens, and use of half-height sieves. The 0.1-mm. sieve is omitted for convenience since the weight of aggregates
