Abstract

Particle-size analysis (PSA) data can be presented and used in several ways, the most common being a cumulative particle-size distribution curve. Particle-size analysis is often used in soil science to evaluate soil texture. Soil texture is based on different combinations of sand, silt, and clay separates that make up the particle-size distribution of a soil sample. Pretreatment of samples to enhance the separation or dispersion of aggregates is a key step in PSA and is generally recommended since many soils contain aggregates that are not readily dispersed. Comparisons of PSA results should always include comparisons of the pretreatment and dispersion methods used. The chapter describes three methods of PSA: sieving, pipette, and hydrometer. In addition, it provides a brief discussion of laser-diffraction techniques and pressure measurement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
