An important characteristic of soil is particle size distribution (granular distribution or texture). Both agricultural and soil science properties are to a large extent determined by soil texture. Determination of particle size is essential for assessing the availability of substances to flora and fauna, the behavior of a substance in the soil, and the determination of soil quality.

With these sets it is possible to classify soils according to international standards. This can be applied to wet and dry soils, in the field or in the laboratory, depending on the set.
