Chart Report Options

Particle size distribution chart reports may be customized by selecting Options > Program Setup and then clicking on Chart Reports underneath Grain Size in the navigation list at the dialog's left side:

Report title

The chart report title is a single line of text shown at the top of the report. Typically the title reads Particle Size Distribution Report or Grain Size Distribution Report -- ASTM D422.

Label sample description as

Chart reports usually include an area for reporting a description of the sample (e.g., Brown sandy clay) with a title such as Soil Description. If the material being tested is aggregate, the sample description may be labeled Type of Aggregate (or alternatively, a more generic title such as Material Description) by entering the new label into the Label sample description as field.

Print fineness modulus with testing remarks

This option appends the calculated fineness modulus (see ASTM C136 or AASHTO T 27) to the end of the testing remarks on test reports. Note that the user is responsible for selecting a sieve nest that corresponds to AASHTO's specification -- LabSuite adds the total percentage of material retained on any of the following sieves: 6", 3" 1.5", 3/4", 3/8", #4, #8, #16, #30, #50 and #100 and divides the sum by 100. If sieves are missing from the list, the resulting fineness modulus will not be compliant with C 136.
