Talk:Sieve analysis

message: I have cleaned this up a bit, and I think removal of the "context" flag is justified.  I personally think that the majority of readers would find the use throughout the article of obsolete US sieve designations rather confusing, and perhaps they all need to be replaced with the modern system. . . .LinguisticDemographer 09:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Chemical and Bio Engineering Project Assessment

message: Since sieving can be complicated especially for people who don't have the tools. A quick hand field test could be an alternative. A person needs to grab a hand full of damp soil and squeeze it into a cast, a thread or a ribbon. This can show the basic classification of the texture.

replies: text: Thanks for your input, here, VictoriaARCH447. This talk page is for discussion of how to improve the article, not directly about aspects of the topic, itself. If there is a published procedure that achieves what you describe, you are welcome to link to it in this discussion page and we can see whether it fits the scope of the article.

Sieve analysis may be conducted using two different standards, one specific to coarse and fine aggregate and the other specific to soil particle size. Although the procedural instructions are simple, referencing ASTM D 422 highlights a complete understanding on how to conduct this experiment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WumboWaffles (talk • contribs) 00:51, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
