Great for sensitivity checks near the A‑line and LL=50 boundary.
Tip: Gravel + Sand + Fines should sum to 100.

Notes:
• Dual symbols appear when fines are 5–12%. • If Cu/Cc are omitted, “P” (poorly graded) is assumed for coarse soils.
• Organic (O) and Peat (PT) are user flags (field/lab judgment required). • Use “Export to PDF” → print dialog → “Save as PDF”.
