Technical Specifications & Laboratory Test Report
Standard laboratory testing under ASTM C144 / ASTM C33 / BS 882 standards confirms the unmatched chemical purity and physical grain integrity of genuine Ghazi Sand: if you need latest lab report of ghazi sand please feel free to contact us
- Silt & Clay Content (ASTM C117): ~0.5% (Lowest in Pakistan) - Virtually silt-free, well below the maximum standard tolerance threshold of 3.0% to 5.0%.
- Fineness Modulus (FM): 1.6 - 2.1 - Perfectly graded fine-to-medium curve providing an ultra-smooth finish without surface aggregate dragging.
- Mortar Compressive Strength (ASTM C109): Exceeds 2,500 - 3,500 PSI in standard 1:3 and 1:4 cement-sand mix designs after 28 days of proper water curing.
- Efflorescence & Organic Impurities (ASTM C40): Nil / Zero harmful alkaline salts (*shora*), permanently eliminating paint peeling, bubbling, and dampness issues.
- Workability & Smoothness: Natural sub-angular to rounded quartz particles that float effortlessly under the mason’s trowel (gurmala), cutting wall putty and primer coats by up to 30%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why is Ghazi Sand specifically recommended for plaster?
With its lab-certified silt level of ~0.5% and 1.6-2.1 Fineness Modulus, it provides a mirror-smooth finish, stops shrinkage hairline cracks, and eliminates efflorescence (white salt deposits) completely.
Q2: Can Ghazi Sand be used for roof slab casting?
For high-stress reinforced concrete (RCC) such as roof slabs, beams, and columns, coarse aggregates like Lawrancepur Sand (FM 2.4-3.2) are recommended. Ghazi Sand is engineered by nature specifically for plaster, mortar, and architectural finishes.
Q3: How can I perform an on-site silt test?
Fill a clear glass cylinder or bottle 3/4 full with water, add a measured sample of sand, shake vigorously, and let it settle for 60 minutes. Silt particles will form a separate top layer; genuine Ghazi sand forms negligible silt sediment (< 1%).
