<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>This article explores soil classification methods and the influence of using dispersing agents in various amounts for the soil particle size analysis. Laboratory testing with different dispersing agents was conducted to analyze the effects of sodium hexametaphosphate and lithium carbonate for two different soils with plasticity indices indicating one to be with low plasticity (PI = 8.23 %) and the other one with high plasticity (PI = 39 %). The article highlights differences in the granulometric fractions reported for each soil and usage of the same dispersing agent but in various amount. Thus, the classification of soils is influenced by the amount of the used dispersing agents, recommendations of standards being different in time and countries. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the anticipated behavior of fine soils and provide useful insights for various geotechnical applications.</jats:p>
