Soil granular distribution

Particle size and soil classification

Soil's crucial characteristics include particle size distribution (texture) and color. Both agricultural and soil science attributes are heavily influenced by soil texture and color. Assessing soil particle size, classification, and color is vital for evaluating substance availability to plants and animals, substance behavior in the soil, and overall soil quality.

Measuring particle size with sieves

Hand sieve

To determine soil grain size distribution, we offer a range of hand sieve sets in our collection. These sets enable soil classification based on international standards. They are suitable for both wet and dry soils and can be used either in the field or in the laboratory, depending on the set.

Using the sand ruler

Sand ruler

For estimating particle composition, the sand ruler proves invaluable. It facilitates an indicative assessment of particle size distribution. Our sand rulers consist of transparent discs embedded with selected samples on a standard scale.
