Steps for spreadsheet use

1 Fill in the general information cells

 1

2 Fill in the PSD data

Up to 29 sieve size can be used
Particle size distributions MUST be entered in ascending order

3 Adjust the Imperfection Line to fit the Tromp curve

Enter the first and last points to use in the yellow cells.
First point should be between 1 and last point.
Last point should be between first point and available number of points (Nb_data above)

For advanced users:

4
Check that the "R/A points" are correctly aligned, and that the "R/A line" passes
near the origin. You can force that by entering "Y" in the cell at the top of the calculation zone
