Soil Texture Test. Complete Guide

 

 Soil Texture Test. Complete Guide

(Jar Test / Sedimentation Test)

In this article, I’ll try to clearly explain what this test is and how to perform it properly.
It’s no secret that this test is very often assigned to field personnel, and they need a solid guide to avoid mistakes and obtain reliable measurements.

 

HEIC → JPG Converter: A Simple Way to Solve Apple Image Format Issues on Windows

 





A Familiar Problem

If you have ever transferred photos from an iPhone or iPad to a Windows computer, you have almost certainly encountered the HEIC / HEIF format.

The photos are there and take up disk space, but:

  • not all programs can open them;
  • Windows requires additional codecs by default;
  • older graphic editors and office software simply do not recognize them;
  • sending such files to colleagues or clients becomes an extra task.

The most reliable solution is converting them to JPG, a format that everyone can open.

🕒 My Personal Time Tracking Application

Over time, I realized that most popular time trackers don’t really fit my needs.
  They are often overloaded with features, require constant internet access, or store data somewhere in the cloud.
  So I decided to build my own personal time tracking application — simple, autonomous, and fully under my control.

Pictures to PDF Optimizer — a Small Tool That Saved Me Hours of Work

  


In engineering and field work, there is one routine task everyone is familiar with:

 quickly and neatly assembling photos into a PDF — for reports, clients, submissions, or archives.

Photos are usually stored in folders, sometimes dozens of subfolders.
 
You need to:

  • reduce them to a reasonable size,

  • preserve readable quality,

  • format everything consistently,

  • and avoid spending half a day on it.

That very practical pain point is what led to the creation of Pictures to PDF Optimizer.
