Coarse aggregate is usually considered to be larger and fine aggregates smaller than #4 sieve. Thus all series need to be used physically in the nest but are still considered in the analysis. For example, sieve larger than 3/8 in. is not used for the sand and sieve smaller than No.8 are seldom used for gravel.
