| Gravitationssanden ... flotationssanden Sink fraction ... float fraction Explanation: It's very unlikely 'sand' would be used in English in this context. If this is a flotation process, the usual terms are sink and float, or sink product and float reject if the material being flotated is a commercial ore. As the email alert to this question indicated soil testing, I'd go for sink fraction and float fraction. Example sentence(s):
