Input
Lab-Class | Sieve
To calculate the particle size distribution of a specimen, you must first select the standard from the Test_Method field on the Sieve (upper) table that the specimen is being tested against. Once selected, click Save and the necessary data entry fields will be automatically highlighted to assist you in entering the relevant data for the selected test method. Specify in the Data_Type field if your data is from a Cumulative or an Incremental test
Enter the test data in the data entry fields on the Sieve (lower) table for each sieve size and when you change table or select save, the PSD values will be calculated automatically and the result will be displayed in the calculated fields.

Input
Lab-Class | Sedimentation
To calculate the particle size distribution of a specimen, you must first select the standard from the Test_Method field on the Sedimentation (upper) table that the specimen is being tested against. Once selected, click Save and the necessary data entry fields will be automatically highlighted to assist you in entering the relevant data in the Sedimentation (upper) table for the selected test method.
Enter the test data in the data entry fields on the Sedimentation (lower) table for each reading and when you change table or select save, the values will be calculated automatically and the result will be displayed in the calculated fields.
The following examples show the required fields in the lower table for each selected standard.
