recent sand deposits. The conventional sieving method have been emulated by choosing similar diameter measurement intervals; while the percentage of grains for each interval, has been considered instead of the weight percentage.

Tamarindo beach showed a grain size distribution from 0.0Φ to 2.0Φ with a peak in 0.5Φ (.5mm). These analyses showed that in three of the five beaches the maximum grain size distribution range in 2.0Φ, one beach in 1.0Φ and the last one in 0.5Φ. The Chiques results are very similar with my results in

11 were too small to be analysed (see Table I). In total 95 samples were collected, of which the grain-size distributions were determined. The number of samples per sediment transport profile is given in Table I. For the grain-size analysis, large samples (larger than 100 g) were split to about 80–100 g; some smaller samples were combined (Table I).

Effective Size of Aggregates Effective size (in microns) is the maximum particle size of the smallest 10% of the aggregate or it is the sieve opening corresponding to 10% finer and is designated by the symbol D10. Uniformity Coefficient of Aggregates This is the ratio of the maximum size of the smallest 60% to the effective size.

` Fine grain sands give good surface finish but possess low permeability. ` For same clay content, the green strength is higher in case of fine sands as compared to coarse sands. ` Coarse and uniformly graded sand imparts high permeability, good refractoriness and high flowability. ` Normally the foundry sand possess the grain size between 0.1

Grain size analysis therefore provides important clues to the sediment provenance, transport his-tory and depositional conditions (e.g. Folk and Ward, 1957; Friedman, 1979; Bui et al., 1990).

4. Moisture Content Test: Moisture content may be determined by the loss of weight, after evaporation. A sample of tempered sand weighing 50 gm. is dried at 110 to 115°C, and then cooled to room temperature in desiccator and re- weighed. The difference in weight, before and after heating gives the moisture content in the sample.

Foundry sand testing is a process used to determine if the foundry sand has the correct properties for a certain casting process. The sand is used to make moulds and cores via a pattern.In a sand casting foundry there are broadly two reasons for rejection of the casting — metal and sand — each of which has a large number of internal variables.

01-12-2019· Gourds are placed on a platform to save the grains from moisture absorption. The benefit of using gourd is that it's economical, stores grain much better than unlined pits and it's easy for farmers for checking for insect's infestation (Makalle, 2012).
