Particle size distribution curve
February 9, 2024
Sand particle size analyses are often reported as percentages in tables. Reports that are delivered from labs that test rootzone or bunker sands for turfgrass usually report the data in tables.
The numbers in tables show the percentage of sand retained on each screen size, generally. For the the 2 mm sieve, for example, a value of 1.76% would mean that 1.76% of the sample was retained on the 2 mm sieve, meaning the diameter of 1.76% of the particles…
