USE OF THE COULTER COUNTER (MODEL B) FOR PARTICLE-SIZE ANALYSIS OF SOILS

THIS REPORT DEALS WITH THE CALIBRATION OF A MODEL B COULTER COUNTER AND METHODS DEVELOPED FOR ITS USE IN THE PARTICLE-SIZE ANALYSIS OF SOILS. COULTER COUNTER ANALYSES OVER A RANGE OF SOIL MATERIALS ARE COMPARED WITH DATA OBTAINED WITH A PLUMMET BALANCE, SEDIMENTATION BALANCE PIPETTE ANALYSIS, AND A SET OF STANDARD SQUARE-HOLED SIEVES. THE APPLICATION OF THE APPARATUS IN SEDIMENTOLOGICAL STUDIES IS DISCUSSED. /TRRL/
