WHAT IS THE GRADING LIMIT OF SAND FOR PLASTER WORK?
Sand used for plaster work can be natural sand, crushed stone sand or crushed gravel sand. The grading limit of sand for plaster work; for internal and external wall and ceiling should be as given in the table below.
Grading Limit of Sand for Plaster Work
| IS Sieve Size | Percentage Passing |
| 10 mm | 100. |
| 4.75 mm | 95 – 100 |
| 2.36 mm | 95 – 100 |
| 1.18 mm | 90 - 100 |
| 600 micron | 80 – 100 |
| 300 micron | 20 – 65 |
| 100.micron | 0 - 15 |
Notes to Remember
- In case the grading falls outside the limits of the grading zones of sieves (except 150, 300 & 600 micron IS sieves) by a total amount not exceeding 5%, it shall be regarded as falling within the gradation.
- For crushed stone sands and crushed gravel sands, the permissible limit on 150 micron IS sieve is increased to 20%.
- Fineness modulus of sandshould be as per the following table.
| 砂型 | Fineness Modulus |
| Crushed stone sand | Not less than 1.4 |
| Crushed gravel sand | Not less than 1.4 |
| Natural sand | Not less than 1.5 |

Dear civil engineers please wake up.above grading enough for plaster.don’t follow is limits blindly.
Is jamuna sand useful for plastering work in home construction??
What properties should be in that whereas?
how much allow to fine particle for manufactured sand form VSI of manufacturing of plastering sand.
Why we are provide group in plaster and what is building settlement (buildings gone down minor)
Manufactured sand from VSI can be classified by dry process for manufacturing of both construction and plaster sand confirming to IS. Micro fines are removed and particle size distribution confirms to IS code. No air classifier required just high frequency screen from Rhewum will do the job. Power consumption is also very less around 15% of normal process adopted and now water or chemical additive is required.
非常丰富的。感谢您分享和简化。然而，我使用了来自Razon Engineering Co的混合物（名为Master Plaster MPCS！01），以及水泥+砂石膏，并且它在可加工性方面具有特殊的结果，并减少了砂灰度变化的裂缝形成。我发现即使是碎砂/ m-砂也可以使用（区-2）而没有任何困难。
It gave good workability in the cement sand mortar, good bonding to the masonry and no cracking in the finished plaster.
