Particle size analysis can be time consuming and expensive. Effective time and money management have the potential to contribute to more accurate particle size analysis results. Here we compare various pretreatment procedures to determine which is more efficient. Coarse-fraction was determined for nine sediment samples by sifting through nested sieves with standard mesh sizes #5, #10, #35, and #60 to compare wet-screening to mechanical dry-screening. Carbon was then removed from the smaller than...
