Section 9 | Modification Of Moisture Indications - DRAMINSKI GMM mini Manual De Uso

The Draminski GMM mini grain moisture meter
stores moisture curves for each species, determined
on the basis of results for normalised samples (bulk
density of grain and mass of 1000 seeds), which
guarantees accurate and repeatable results. How-
ever, it may happen that crop of a given year varies
from normalised seeds (due to various factors) and
departures may occur in moisture indications.
Such factors include:
1. Seed formation and maturity:
– Weak and badly formed seeds = results under-
rated.
2. Specific features of a given grain:
– Very tiny seeds = results underrated,
– Very large seeds = results overrated.
3. Degree of contamination and screenings = results
usually underrated,
4. Degree of damage caused by pests and fungi.

SECTION 9 | MODIFICATION OF MOISTURE INDICATIONS

NOTE! Results of measurements should be
compared only with the laboratory drying-and-
weighing test, not with results of other moisture
meters, as they may be misleading.
The Draminski GMM mini grain moisture meter
enables the user to modify (adjust) measurement
indications.
In any case of modification, each grain type is
treated individually. When a modification is made,
an asterisk "*" will be displayed next to the grain
name, while during the measurement, a note will
be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen,
showing the value of adjustment of indication for a
given grain (the result will automatically reflect the
modification):
