• Definitions:
• Substrate particles smaller than sand and larger than clay.
• Sedimentary materials composed of fine or intermediate sized mineral particles.
• Noncohesive soil whose individual particles are not visible to the unaided human eye (0.002 to 0.05 mm). Silt will crumble when rolled into a ball.
• Loose sedimentary material composed of rock articles usually 1/20- millimeter or less in diameter. May also be used to refer to soil containing 80 percent or more of such material and less than 12 percent of clay.
• particles of small size left as sediment from water.
• A rock fragment or mineral particle with a diameter of 1/16 mm to 1/256 mm, smaller than a very fine sand grain and larger than coarse clay.
• Particles of dirt in ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and marshes. Silt moves around a lot when it is disturbed. Too much silt in the water is a problem, since it can cover and destroy eggs of fish, amphibians, and other organisms.
• Sediment particles in the size range of 1/256 to 1/16 mm (or 0.0039 to 0.0625 mm). Traditionally, sediment particle sizes in the silt-sized range are defined by their sedimentation diameter.
• A soil component consisting of moderately sized particles (0.002 to 0.05 mm diameter). Silt particles provide a moderate amount of surface area for adsorption of molecules, providing some resistance to leaching of charged molecules. ...
• Soil particles between 0.002 mm and 0.05 mm (in some countries 0.06 mm is the upper size limit), with high or medium-high specific area influencing stability of soil structure; also used as a texture class name for medium and medium-fine soil materials.
• Soil that runs off the land and accumulates where water slows down.
• contaminant particles 5 ¦m and less in size.
• Soil inorganic particles in the 0.002-0.02 mm size range, smaller than sand but larger than clay. Silt, which washes off the land into a body of water, can settle out of the water and smother benthic organisms such as oysters.
• soil type composed of extremely fine sediment particles.
• Silt is fine dirt (soil or sand) that is suspended in water. SILTATION Siltation is the build-up of silt that is suspended in rivers or other bodies of water.
• fine particles of soil floating in rivers, ponds, or lakes
• That mineral fraction of the soil with particles from 0.002-0.063mm diameter fine silt: 0.002-0.006mm diameter medium silt: 0.006-0.02mm diameter coarse silt: 0.02-0.063mm diameter
• fine soil mixed into, carried by, or deposited from water as sediment.
• A fine-grained soil that is deposited by water or wind
• A sedimentary material consisting of fine mineral particles in size between sand and clay.
• detrital, clay-rich sediment with a particle size of 1/16-1/256 mm. range.
• Very fine grains of dirt deposited by a moving body of water.
• Soil particles having diameters between 0.004 and 0.062 mm (millimeters). Sometimes they may be too small to be trapped by the circulation system. In those cases, a clarifier or an alum product may be needed.
• Material passing the No. 200 sieve.
• small particles of rock, soil or organic material suspended in water.
• silt up: become chocked with silt; "The river silted up" mud or clay or small rocks deposited by a river or lake
• Silt is soil or rock derived granular material of a specific grain size.
