Types of Sand Classification of Sand. Followings are the classification of Sand: Based on the grain size of the particle, sand is classified as Fine Sand(0.075 to 0.425mm), Medium Sand(0.425 to 2mm), and Coarse Sand(2.0 mm to 4.75mm) Based on origin, sand is classified as Pit sand, River sand, Sea sand, and manufactured sand.
