RESUMEN
ABSTRACT
Soil particle size analysis, granulometry, is done with the use of various
techniques and equipment, and among them, the best known are those that use
the pipette and density meter method. However, questions often arise on the
comparability and / or generalizability of the results generated by the different
techniques. A comparison of the results shows small differences of fractions of
the clay and fine silt. The sand fractions, determined by sieving in the two cases,
showed important differences. The biggest difference may be related to the
amount of material used in each methodology.
