According to AASHTO T 267 test method, the organic content obtained is for the portion finer than sieve No. 10. Tipically the portion finer than sieve No.10 is less than 10 percent of the whole A-1-a sample. If I start with 1500 grams of A-1-a sample and end up with only 100 grams for the test, and the tests results show this 100 grams have 3% organic, shall I multiply this percent to the percentage of the total sample to obtain the organic content of the 1500 grams? (This will be about 0.19%)
