    The document discusses standard sieve sizes and their openings in millimeters. It defines fineness modulus (FM) as a measure for indicating the particle size distribution of aggregate or soil. FM is calculated by adding the cumulative percentages of material retained on each sieve and dividing by 100. Examples show calculations of FM for various soil and aggregate samples based on sieve analysis data. FM values indicate the material type, with ranges of 2.2-2.6 for fine sand, 2.6-2.9 for medium sand, and 2.9-3.2 for coarse sand. Coarse aggregates have an FM of 6.5-8.0.
