Follow the steps to complete the PARTICLE SIZE (PTXSIZE) V form online

1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in your preferred document editor.
2. Begin the analysis by running the SizeDistribution macro. The program will ask whether you wish to perform a sieve analysis or a pebble count, which you must select accordingly.
3. Specify the lower bound of the largest size class for the analysis, using phi units. This detail is crucial for accurate results.
4. If conducting a sieve analysis, indicate whether a split was utilized to determine the < 2mm fraction.
5. Once the worksheet is set up, input either the sieve weight or the count of pebbles in your designated size category. The corresponding size classes will be shown in columns A and B.
6. After data entry, execute the calculation by pressing 'command-='. This step will generate the percent composition of the sample in each size category and the cumulative percentages related to the sizes listed.
7. To calculate parameters such as D90, D84, D65, D50, D35, D16, and D10, run the SizeParameters macro after the worksheet is calculated. This will use log-normal interpolation to derive your results.
8. Should you want to visualize the data, use the PlotSizeDistribution macro to create a plot of ø versus cumulative percentage or log mm versus cumulative percentage.
9. For reference on ø equivalents of mm values, run the PhiEquivalents macro and remember to close that worksheet once you are done reviewing.
10. Once you have completed all necessary steps and ensured the accuracy of your data, save the changes, and proceed to download, print, or share the form as needed.
