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.
Size < 0.002 mm - clay soil.

Boulders greater than 300mm.
Cobbles 80mm to 300mm.
Gravel 4.75mm to 80mm.
Sand 75u to 4.75mm,
Silt 2u to 75u,
Clay less than 2u,
Given value is the diameter of soil Partical.
Cobbles 80mm to 300mm.
Gravel 4.75mm to 80mm.
Sand 75u to 4.75mm,
Silt 2u to 75u,
Clay less than 2u,
Given value is the diameter of soil Partical.

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.
