Particle size distributions by laser diffraction: sensitivity of granular matter strength to analytical operating procedures
We tested laser diffraction particle size analysis in poorly coherent carbonate platform cataclastic breccias and unfaulted quartz-rich eolian sands, representing low- and high-strength granular materials, respectively. We used two different instruments with different sample dispersion and pumping s...
