In this paper, the authors review the history of grain size analysis, summarize the commonly used grain size types, introduce the grain size standards and the five grain size analysis methods usually used in sedimentology at present, and give a detailed classification of sedimentation method, field interference analysis method and image method. In addition, the scope of application, the principle of measurement, the advantages and disadvantages of each grain size analysis method are also introduced in detail. Of them,direct measurement method is simple, but poor in accuracy; Sieving analysis is common, but can only precede loose or weakly cemented sediments and cannot reflect grain shape; Sedimentation method is suitable for the analysis of loose samples, weak cemented samples and liquid samples, and can measure fine grained sediments such as fine sand, silt and mud; Field interference method is mainly based on the diffraction, scattering and voltage impulse response of detritus grains, both solid and liquid samples, with high accuracy, and wide applicability; Image method is diverse, simple and intuitive, and strongly operable. In general, in the next few decades, these grain size analysis methods will still co-exist with old and new technologies.
