There are many kinds of laser diffraction particle-size analyzers used to study the particle-size of soil sediments in recent years. The analysis results may be difficult to compare
which affects the reliability of the research conclusion to some extent. The particle-sizes of the loess
paleosol and palaeoflood slackwater deposits (SWD) were measured with Mastersizer2000 by Malvern Instruments and LS13320 by Beckm an Coulter. The repeatedly measured results of an individual sample are very good. Both of two analyzers can be used for extracting palaeoenvironmental information of soil sediments. The LS13320 by Beckm an Coulter is better than the Mastersizer2000 by Malvern Instruments in the detective effect of relatively fine and coarse particles with rather few content. Therefore
the particle size of samples should be obtained and analyzed by the same method in order to compare them with different references.
