Assessing the precision and accuracy of particle-size analysis with a laboratory laser-diffraction analyzer
The purpose of this study is to assess the precision and accuracy of laboratory laser-diffraction particle-size distribution (PSD) analysis in support of an effort to formally adopt the method for routine use in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) sediment laboratories. USGS sediment laboratories analyze the PSD of sediment in support of a wide variety of sediment-transport and water-quality studies from around the United States (US).
