The soil texture triangle is one of the tools that soil scientists use to visualize and understand the meaning of soil texture names. The textural triangle is a diagram which shows how each of these 12 textures is classified based on the percent of sand, silt, and clay in each. Note: these percentages are based on the USDA definition of sand and silt only. Follow these steps to determine the textural class name of your soil sample: 1) Determine the percent sand of your sample and find that number on the bottom of the triangle. Note that the numbers read from right to left, not left to right.
