I found the sieve analysis of Turface on their website.

(I've rounded some tenths of %s).

Typical sieve analysis of Turface MVP
http://www.turface.com/sites/default/files/Turface mvp sheet...

6 mesh - - 15 %
8 mesh - - 32 %
12 mesh - - 19 %
20 mesh - - 31 %
30 mesh - - 3 %
40 mesh - - 0.5 %
pan - - - - - - 0.1%


The second column must be "% retained by that screen" - I guess by weight, not volume or grain count.

If the "sieve size link" is relevant, the third, 4th and 5th columns below might be typical particle diameters, or minimum dimensions.
