| abschlämmbare Bestandteile fine particle content / fines content Explanation: I've previously come across "settleable solids" and "fine particles"/"fines" for "abschlämmbare Bestandteile". In the context of the composition of sand, I'd prefer "fine particle content" or "fines content". See http://www.mpva.de/Uebergreifendes/index.php?download=Aufgab... (p. 21) |
