Significance and Use
The size or gradation of glass spheres is one measurable aspect of performance as a retroreflective media. The function of this test is to measure the size of glass spheres and to determine compliance with applicable specifications.
Note 1—This method has been used in other industrial areas outside the intended scope of this test method.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the sieve analysis of glass spheres used for retroreflective pavements markings and industrial uses.
