Fine Aggregate Meaning. Fine aggregates are usually sand or crushed stone that are less than 9.55mm in diameter. Typically the most common size of aggregate used in construction is 20mm. A larger size, 40mm, is more common in mass concrete. Larger aggregate diameters reduce the quantity of cement and water needed.

Aggregates comprise around 70% of concrete composition and are presented in two forms: (1) fine and (2) coarse. Fine aggregates are usually made of sand or crushed stone, whereas coarse aggregates can be up to 1.5 inches in diameter.
