- Laser diffraction and dry-sieving grain size analyses undertaken on fine- and medium grained sandy marine sediments: a note
- Abstract
- Subtidal marine sediments from the Belgian continental shelf were measured using laser diffractometry and dry-sieving téchniques. The laser diffractometry approach provided a coarser and less-sorted particle size distribution, compared with the dry-sieving téchnique. The 5th, 10th, 16th, 50th, 84th, 90th, and 95th percentiles, 180-710 micrometers cumulative mass/volume percentages, mean grain size, and sorting measured using both téchniques were correlated, with r² > 0.76 (p < 0.001). Skewness and kurtosis were poorly correlated between both téchniques. For the purpose of conversion of data from one type of measurement to the other, for sandy sediments a global approximation can be obtained with the proposed relationships.
