Standard Testing Sands
Several testing standards organizations, such as ASTM, have specified silica sands to be used for various test methods. In response, AGSCO has developed a series of standard testing sands. An outline of various standards and the appropriate AGSCO testing sand can be found in the technical data sheet section. Tests include those from ASTM, the Military, and EN standards.
