Abstract
Among the most popular methods for granulometric composition determina tion is the pipette method in the modification of N.A. Kachinskiy. How ever, it is rather time- and labor-consuming; therefore new ways are s ought. Using the measuring devices of the series ''Sedigraph'' shorten s the procedure to 20 minutes (the time for sample preparation is not included). When the shortened modified scheme is applied, one analyst may handle 200 samples per month instead of 120.
