stir it. If the color of solution changes into brown, it means it has impurities in it.....

Hi venkatesh
1. First of all u ask the sample which is approved for the particular project, and compare it.
2. Normally dry sand if u hold firmly in hand ( Fist) and open it should not get any shape.
3. colour and lumps indicates the quality of sand.
Rest u can trust fully on lab reasults.

Hi Venkatesh,
A simple test is to put a cup full of the sand into a glass jar and some clean water. Shake the jar up and let it sit. If the water becomes cloudy or murky then the sand has impurities in it and depending on how dirty it is will determine whether it should be used for structural purposes or not....
