the fifth stage of manufacture. The dried leaf is sorted mechanically by sifting the different leaf size particles or grades through different size meshes
The process by which a given transport medium separates out certain particles, as on the basis of size, shape, or density.
The separation of particles according to size, shape, or weight. It occurs during transportation by running water or wind.
The process by which materials are graded according to one of their particular attributes, including size, shape or density. Sorting can also be used in sedimentological terms to mean the standard deviation of a particle distribution.
Process of separating rough or polished diamonds into colour, clarity, carat and cut.
an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion; "the bottleneck in mail delivery it the process of sorting"
grouping by class or kind or size
Separating a fleece or fiber into groups of comparable character and quality. The grading of fiber.
The separation of good versus bad usually accomplished through visual inspection. ( Find out more)
Physically separating coffee beans, after hulling or milling, according to size, density, color and imperfections.
Selective segregation of rock fragments based on their physical characteristics by fluids. Stromatolite: A structure produced by sediment trapping, binding and/or precipitation due to microorganism (algal) activity.
The process of grouping products by grade (see also Grading). This may refer to separating batch-picked merchandise for shipping to vari-ous retail stores.
An expression of the range of grain sizes present in a sediment. A well-sorted sediment has a narrow range of grain sizes, whereas a poorly sorted sediment has a wide range of grain sizes.
Sorting incoming logs by size and desired slicing method.
The range of scatter of particle sizes about the median grain size of a sediment.
(1) The range of clast sizes in a collection of sediment; (2) the degree to which sediment has been separated by flowing currents into different-size fractions.
The separation of the whole fleece into parts, as well as removing the off-sorts.
Real and virtual separation of test specimens in different categories specified by one or multiple parameters.
Separating coffee beans, after hulling or husking, according to size, density, color, and imperfections. Sorting can be done by hand or mechanically.
Segregation of sawn wood items into groups that have similar characteristics, such as thickness, species, grades, and grain patterns, and into classes for stacking or racking, such as width and length.
Some method by which you process and analyze the anti-virus logs of your viruses. (e.g. VirusKeeper stores the AV information in a database, then updates it according to the AV logs.)
The process of sorting pearls before matching and jewelry assembly to separate pearls by luster, surface, shape, color and size. Each pearl is handled hundreds of times during the sorting and matching process.
Separating pearls by surface, shape, color, and size prior to the matching process.
The subdivision of a quantity according to defined characteristics as in the sorting of needle rollers according to diameter groups.
Sorting indicates the distribution of grain size of sediments, either in unconsolidated deopoits or in sedimentary rocks. Poorly sorted indicates that the sediment sizes are mixed (large variance); whereas well sorted indicates that the sediment sizes are similar (low variance).
