[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: SEDSIZE computes Inman, Trask, and Folk statistical parameters based on phi values and sizes determined for the percent-finer values of 5, 16, 25, 35, 50, 65, 75, 84, 90, and 95 from up to 33 input particle-size, and percent-finer data pairs. The program also determines the percentages of gravel, sand, silt, and clay, and the Meyer-Peter effective diameter.

GEOSCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
Access Constraints SEDSIZE is written in Fortran 77 with the following extension: use of variable names longer than six characters. Generally, the program is easily installed on most computer systems. The code has been used on UNIX-based computers and DOS-based 386 or greater computers having a math coprocessor and 1 mb of memory.
