AI Thread Summary
Several software options are available for creating gradation charts, with Excel being a popular choice due to its ease of use. SigmaPlot is also mentioned as a viable alternative for generating these charts. For those looking to create a graph paper template for hand-drawn charts, a specific method involving dummy data points is suggested. Additionally, a website for printable semi-log graph paper is shared for manual charting. Overall, Excel is recommended for electronic gradation curves, particularly for aggregates.

Hey guys, does anyone uses or knows about a software package that allows me to do gradation charts? (a gradation chart is a simple graphic where the x-axis is in logarithmic scale and the y-axis is in natural scale)
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
excel allows it, and I think sigma plot does too. That all I ever use.
 
It is pretty easy to do in Excel. Just one question...are you looking for just the graph paper itself to do hand charts with or do you want an electronic form of the chart? If you want to make a graph paper template, you need to put a dummy series of data into enable the scaling, etc...of the grid lines and divisions. You can simply make the data points match the color of your background and they don't show up.
 
If you want to do just print your own semi-log graph and graph by hand, here's a good website I found:

If you want a program that graph's for you, I use Excell or pSpice, but that's really for electrical stuff. What do you need it for?
 
Well the graph is for aggregates' gradation curves. I guess i should have been more explicit, i want a electronic form of the graph.
 
I would have to say Excell is good for those curves.
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
