2、 dedicated to advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. ASABE Standards are consensus documents developed and adopted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to meet standardization needs within the scope of the Society; principally

3、 agricultural field equipment, farmstead equipment, structures, soil and water resource management, turf and landscape equipment, forest engineering, food and process engineering, electric power applications, plant and animal environment, and waste management. NOTE: ASABE Standards, Engineering Prac

4、tices, and Data are informational and advisory only. Their use by anyone engaged in industry or trade is entirely voluntary. The ASABE assumes no responsibility for results attributable to the application of ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data. Conformity does not ensure compliance with

5、 applicable ordinances, laws and regulations. Prospective users are responsible for protecting themselves against liability for infringement of patents. ASABE Standards, Engineering Practices, and Data initially approved prior to the society name change in July of 2005 are designated as “ASAE“, rega

6、rdless of the revision approval date. Newly developed Standards, Engineering Practices and Data approved after July of 2005 are designated as “ASABE“. Standards designated as “ANSI“ are American National Standards as are all ISO adoptions published by ASABE. Adoption as an American National Standard

7、 requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by ASABE. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected in

8、terests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. CAUTION NOTICE: ASABE and ANSI standards may be revised or withdrawn at a

9、ny time. Additionally, procedures of ASABE require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw each standard.

27、 Renumber ISO section 3.2, Test procedure to section 3.3, Test procedure. Following sub-sections to be renumbered accordingly. 0.5.6 In ISO section 3.2 (renumbered to 3.3), Test procedure, remove ISO sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 and replace with the following: 3.3.2 Measure the unload rate using one of

28、the following procedures: 3.3.2.1 Recommended procedure is to unload the combine and continuously measure weight vs. time at a minimum frequency of 5 hz. Commence unloading the test wheat from the combine harvester grain tank using the combines unloading system operating at its rated speed into a su

29、itable collection area for weighing the wheat, at the same time recording the weight vs. time. The starting time is the moment when the unloading switch or lever is activated by the operator. Continue unloading for 30 seconds after the flow of wheat stops to ensure sufficient data collection. The po

30、int at which the grain tank is effectively empty will be calculated in section 4.2.1. 3.3.2.2 Alternate procedure is to commence unloading the test wheat from the combine harvester grain tank using the combines unloading system operating at its rated speed into a suitable collection area for weighin

31、g the wheat, at the same time noting the starting time. The starting time is the moment when the unloading switch or lever is activated by the operator. Five seconds after the start of full flow from the unloading auger divert the wheat into a second suitable collection area. After a further 30 s di

32、vert the remaining wheat being unloaded into the first collection area until the flow of wheat stops when the grain tank is considered to be effectively empty. Weigh and note the mass of test wheat collected in the first and second collection areas. Note the total time. 0.5.7 Remove and replace sect
