Dig This – Particle Size Analysis of Soil

The particle size analysis of soil and ocean sediments helps to characterize a geological area according to texture properties. Soil texture properties determine the drainage ability of water and nutrients, as well as susceptibility to erosion. With the laser diffraction technique, the PSA allows performing fast and repeatable measurements over a wide size range from submicron clay to millimeter-sized sand.
