Get PriceM Sand is the only alternative to river sand Higher concrete strength compared to river sand used for concreting Though M Sand uses natural coarse aggregates to form it causes less damage to the environment as compared to river sand Better quality control since manufactured in a controlled environment
Get PriceConcrete sand is a label that is typically used to describe the coarse washed sand that is a common ingredient in cement and asphalt mixtures Its grains are larger than those of masonry sand but a processing and screening process ensures that there are no large rocks or pebbles present This material is often made of things like gneiss
Get PriceSelected manufactured sands can be used as part of the fine aggregates to deliver workable concrete for general applications and to provide good skid and abrasion resistance to concrete pavement In concrete pavement it was found that the use of free silica limit in the selection of natural sand to provide good skid resistance to concrete
Get PriceConcrete sand is much coarser than masonry sand due to the fact that it has larger grains Concrete sand can also be natural sand manufactured sand or a combination of the two This coarseness helps to give concrete mixes added strength and durability In the US concrete sand is expected to meet ASTM C33 Standard Specification for Concrete

Get PriceAbstract Manufactured sand is a term used for aggregate material s less than and which are processed for from crushed rock or gravel due to booming of construction activities in our country natural sand resources are increasingly depleted and its cost is becoming increasingly high
Get PriceHere are the main properties of manufactured sand • The shape of this artificial sand is cube like or angular • It has a rough texture Thus it is preferred for making concrete • The water absorption capacity of manufactured sand is 2% to 4% • As it is artificially produced there are no oversized particles
Get PriceFurther manufactured sand is used as a full replacement to the fine aggregates or partial replacement The gradation or the particle size distribution mica content etc should be checked before using them The content of the mica greater than 5% causes loss of compressive strength of the concrete
Get PriceCDE Solution for Manufactured Sand Our manufactured sands washing systems efficiently deal with a number of issues for our customers including Efficient removal of the minus 63 micron / 200 mesh material typically 15% 20% of the feed Crusher dust is typically very lean in the 63 micron to 600 micron / 200 mesh to 30 mesh range so it is
Get PriceThe percentage passing 150 microns of manufactured sand is relaxed to 20% while that of natural sand is limited to 10% As per design and economics crushed sand can be used to partially or fully replace river sand from a concrete mix The Availability of crushed sand is not a concern as it can be manufactured from rocks in any season
Get PriceAdvantages of manufactured sand are as follows Reducing defects in concrete like segregation bleeding and honeycomb structure formation Setting time of concrete is comparatively fast as compared to another type of concrete where we use natural sand
