The Isolation of Settling-Velocity Fractions of Sand-Size Material: New Possibilities for the Settling Tube Technique: RESEARCH METHOD PAPER

Reinhard Oehmig (1), Klaus H. Michels (2)

ABSTRACT

A new method for fractionating sand-size granular material by settling velocity makes it possible to obtain up to 24 desired settling-velocity fractions as accurately and easily as obtaining settling-velocity distributions with a sedimentation balance. The complete sample is retained in the fractions. An example using typical polymodal marine sediments demonstrates the advantage of compositional analysis of settling-velocity fractions for the interpretation of sedimentation processes.
