Sand & Gravel company

Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles.

"As the term is used by geologists, sand particles range in diameter from 0.0625 (or 1⁄16 mm) to 2 millimeters. An individual particle in this range size is termed a sand grain. The next smaller size class in geology is silt: particles smaller than 0.0625 mm down to 0.004 mm in diameter. The next larger size class above sand is gravel, with particles ranging from 2 mm up to 64 mm (see particle size for standards in use). Sand feels gritty when rubbed between the fingers (silt, by comparison, feels like flour)."

"ISO 14688 grades sands as fine, medium and coarse with ranges 0.063 mm to 0.2 mm to 0.63 mm to 2.0 mm. In USA, sand is commonly divided into five sub-categories based on size: very fine sand (1/16 - 1/8 mm diameter), fine sand (1/8 mm - 1/4 mm), medium sand (1/4 mm - 1/2 mm), coarse sand (1/2 mm - 1 mm), and very coarse sand (1 mm - 2 mm). These sizes are based on the Φ sediment size scale, where size in Φ = -log base 2 of size in mm. On this scale, for sand the value of Φ varies from -1 to +4, with the divisions between sub-categories at whole numbers."

  • Beach nourishment - transportation to popular beaches where seasonal tides or artificial changes to the shoreline cause the original sand to flow out to sea.
  • Sandbags are used for protection against floods and gun fire. They can be easily transported when empty, then filled with local sand.
  • Sand castle building is a popular activity. There are competitive sand castle building competitions (See sand art and play).
  • Sand animation is a type of performance art and a technique for creating animated films.
  • Aquaria are often lined with sand instead of gravel. This is a low cost alternative which some believe is better than gravel.
  • Railroads use sand to improve the traction of wheels on the rails.
  • Weights can use sand in pulley and gear systems as weights.
  • Brick manufacturing plants use sand as an additive with a mixture of clay and other materials for manufacturing bricks.
  • Sand is sometimes mixed with paint to create a textured finish for walls and ceilings or a non-slip floor surface.
  • Sand is often a principal component of concrete.
  • Molding sand, also known as foundry sand, is moistened or oiled and then shaped into molds for sand casting. This type of sand must be able to withstand high temperatures and pressure, allow gases to escape, have a uniform, small grain size and be non-reactive with metals.
  • It is the principal component in glass production.
  • Graded sand is used as an abrasive in sandblasting and is also used in media filters for filtering water.
  • Sandy soils are ideal for certain crops such as watermelons, peaches, and peanuts and are often preferred for intensive dairy farming because of their excellent drainage characteristics.
  • Sand is used in landscaping, it is added to make small hills and slopes (for example, constructing golf courses).

    Gravel

    "Gravel is rock that is of a specific particle size range. In geology, gravel is any loose rock that is larger than two millimeters (2mm) in its largest dimension (about 1/12 of an inch) and no more than 63 millimeters (about 2.5 inches). Sometimes gravel is restricted to rock in the 2-4 millimeter range, with pebble being reserved for rock >4-63 millimeters. The next smaller size class in geology is sand, which is >0.063 mm to 2 mm in size. The next larger size is cobble, which is >63 millimeters to 256 millimeters (about 2.5 to ten inches). One cubic foot (28.32 dm3) of gravel typically weighs about 100 pounds (45 kg)."

    "Gravel is an important commercial product, used in many applications. Many roadways are surfaced with gravel, especially in rural areas where there is little traffic. Globally, far more roads are surfaced with gravel than with concrete or tarmac; Russia alone has over 400,000 km of gravel-surfaced roads."
