Italian term or phrase: curvatura di inerti
From an instruction manual for a joint filling machine (fugatrice):
Limits to use:
"...resine, tutti a base d’acqua e di densità tale da permettere lo scorrimento in tutto il sistema di pompaggio con ***curvatura di inerti*** da 0 a un massimo di 5 mm.

Could this "curvatura" have to do with distribution?
Thanks all!

aggregate grading curve


Explanation:
it's a line indicating the percentage of the various sizes of aggregates between two limits (0 to 5 mm in your case).

It is usually called the \"curva granulometrica\". To enable easy pumping you need different percentages of the various sizes of the aggregate between the max. and the min. So a \"graph\" is plotted with various sizes of the aggregate (in mm) on one axis and the corresponding percentages of aggregate smaller than that size on the other axis - and you end up with a \"curve\", which is the design of the \"grading curve\". I hope that makes some sort of sense !!

Explanation:
dopo il tuo chiarimento (dato che come era posta la frase non significava nulla) ritengo che si parli di massimo diametro della
sabbia o degli inerti in generale
