Our Analyzer can truly provide results that sedimentologists have come to expect from a century of using sizing methods (sieving, sedimentation etc.). Only sedimentation of sand-sized particles comes the closest to the sedimentation in nature, the ultimate goal.
| PSI sedimentation velocity & PHI grain size distributions of the original samples are valuable tools in: | |
| Petroleum Geology | reservoir evaluation, enhanced recovery, heavy oil and tar sand production, basin analysis, stratigraphic correlation; |
| Civil Engineering | sediment transportation, coastal protection, soil mechanics; |
| Oceanography | coastal processes, marine sedimentation, tracing sand movement; |
| Quality Control of Natural & Synthetic Abrasives | diamond, corundum, silicon carbide, boron nitride; |
| Quality Control of Filter and Foundry Sands | results are consistently related to specific surface in contrast to sieve data; |
| Chemical Engineering | permeability control of sand filters in synthetic fiber production; etc.. |
| Forensic Research & Analysis | Gaussian components of the MacroGranometer's sand size and sedimentation velocity distributions specify sand samples as small as 0.1 g, like finger imprints and DNA identify a person. |
|
PSI sedimentation velocity distributions of
narrow sieve fractions (each
consists of equal-sized grains) can be shown as 3D-plots and/or converted into distributions of grain density or shape. All are valuable tools in: |
|
| MicroPaleontology | isolation of various micro-fossil groups (foraminifers, conodonts, etc.); |
| Prospecting for Heavy Mineral (Placer) Deposits | gold, platinum group minerals, rare earth minerals, diamond, titanium ores, tin ores (cassiterite), zircon, garnets. |
