There are various size of grain(sieve) used by IS code.
as 80mm, 40mm, 20mm, 10mm, 4.45mm, 2.36mm, 1.18mm,
600micron, 300micron, etc...
To determine the size of the grains the particles are
sieved in the sieve specified above. If the required amount
of material is retained in the sieve then, the size of the
material is the size of the sieve.

Generally the size of the silt is 0.06mm to 0.002mm
