The fine sand fraction (0.15-0.25 mm) should not exceed 25 percent, and the very fine fraction (0.05 - 0.15 mm) should not exceed 5 percent. Ideally, the material should have no particles greater than 1.0 mm in diameter given the difficulty in getting these larger particles to work down into the turf canopy.
