Old plastic to clay science: super-size Atterberg cylinder

Size fractionation for sediment and clay minerals analysis is done using a centrifuge or Atterberg sedimentation cylinder. Both methods rely on the Stokes' Law to determine the settling time. The usual size fraction for clay analysis is < 2.0 microns. The settling time is determined by the viscosity of the medium - usually a suspension prepared with demineralised water - as well as its density
