MEASURING GRAIN MOISTURE

SAMPLE TAKING

Always take several samples from different
locations of the grain. Define the grain moisture
content by the average value of the
measurements.
Remove foreign material from the
grain samples.
Remember that the moisture inside the
grain dryer varies up until the final stages
of the drying process.
MEASUREMENT OF THE
GRAIN SAMPLE
Start the tester by pressing and
releasing the ON/OFF button.
Select grain by using the arrow
keys.
The correct sample size is shown
on the display, e.g. "9 ml".
Fill the test cell with grain, according
to the displayed amount, by using
the measuring cup in the cap to
measure the correct amount of
grain, either 9 or 11 ml (see
Figure 2).
Pour grain into the test cell and
distribute evenly around the cell
(see Figure 3).
Mount the upper grinding cap and
turn the cap until it reaches the
stopper (see Figures 4 and 5).
