32;Geologist Chester K. Wentworth defined "sand" in a publication in 1922, along with "gravel," "silt," and "mud." Sand-sized particles range in size from 63 microns to 2 millimeters. Gravel is anything larger than that; silt and mud are finer. When we think about sand, we usually picture quartz sand, because that's what most sand is made of on Earth.

6.11: Sediments Classification Based On Grain Size
Sediments Classification Based On Grain Size. Sediments are solid fragments of inorganic or organic material that come from the weathering of rock and soil erosion, and are carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. They range in size from large blocks to microscopic particles. Figure 6.39 shows the technical definition of sediment particles.

32;Okoro et al. (2021) investigated the effects of water salinity and sand grain size (45–300 μm) on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in sandstone reservoirs. They suggested that the low surface area of coarse-grained sandstone was the likely reason for the residual oil saturation of coarse formations being lower than it is in fine-grained formations.
