the majority of the particles (96.1%) was situated between 2.8 mm and 4 mm

Conclusions:
the majority of the particles (96.1%) was situated between 2.8 mm and 4 mm
Executive summary:

A preliminary mechanical and manual sieving was performed using a 4 mm, 1 mm,

and 100 μm test sieves. The majority of the particles was situated between 1 and 4 mm.

Therefore, the principal sieving was made between 1 and 4 mm.

Then, a main test was performed :
