Soil partial size;
clay: 0.002.
Silt: 0.002 - 0.06.
Sand: 0.06 - 4.75.
Gravel: 4.75 - 60.
Pebbels: 4.75 - 80.
clay: 0.002.
Silt: 0.002 - 0.06.

I think the Silt varies(0.002-0.06) and the minimum is 0.002 and the maximum is 0.06.
So, it is correct.
So, it is correct.

Size >300 mm - boulder.
Size ranges b/w 80 - 300 mm- cobbles.
Size ranges b/w 4.75 - 80 mm- gravel.
Size ranges b/w 75 micron - 4.75 mm - sand.
Size ranges b/w 0.002mm - 0.075mm - silt.
Size < 0.002 mm - clay soil.
Size ranges b/w 80 - 300 mm- cobbles.
Size ranges b/w 4.75 - 80 mm- gravel.
Size ranges b/w 75 micron - 4.75 mm - sand.
Size ranges b/w 0.002mm - 0.075mm - silt.
