Comparing particle sizes of two sands

One way to compare sand particle sizes is to study the particle size information in data tables. Plotting the sand particle sizes on charts can also help with identifying and understanding the differences between sands.

I plotted the particle size distribution curve of two sands, one (Sand C) that meets the guidelines in Table 3 of the USGA Recommendations for a Method of Putting Green Construction, and another (Sand F) that has more fine material and is just outside the…
