The hydrometer method is useful only for measuring particles with a grain diameter of 2 mm or less (sands, silts, and clays). Based on Stoke's Law, it is known that sand size particles (0.05 mm to 2 mm) fall from suspension rapidly. Smaller silt sized particles (0.002 mm to 0.05 mm) remain in suspension longer, but eventually fall from ...
