Silt: 0.075 to 0.002.
Clay: 0.002 to 0.0001.
Organic soil: Less than 0.0001.

Clay= < 0.002.
Silt= 0.002 - 0.06.
Sand= 0.06 - 4.75.
Gravel=4.75+.

2 microns is the size used for differentiating between silt and clay.

Silt -> .002 - .063 mm

Sand -> 0.063 - 2 mm

Gravel -> 2 - 63 mm

Sand 0.0625-2 mm.
Silt 0.0002-0.0625 mm.
Clay < 0.002 mm.
