1、Designation: F 2342/F 2342M 09Standard Specification forDesign and Construction of Composition or QualityConstituent Measuring Devices or Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2342/F 2342M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoptio
2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for designand construction of el
3、ectronic devices or systems for measur-ing composition or quality constituents of live animals, live-stock and poultry carcasses, and individual cuts of meat, or acombination thereof. Examples include, but are not limited, tohalf and whole carcasses, primals, subprimals, and boxed meat.1.2 The value
4、s stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.
5、1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2. Referenced

17、, unit of the Interna-tional System of Units (SI) and other units specifically ap-proved in IEEE/ASTM SI 10 as a unit for use with SI.3.2.11 units of measure, nfor the purpose of this specifi-cation, the units of measure shall be the International System ofUnits (SI).3.2.11.1 DiscussionSI units are
18、divided into three classes:base units, derived units, and supplementary units.4. Materials and Manufacture4.1 Indicators and Recording ElementsAll measuringdevices or evaluation systems shall be provided with anindicating element, and all systems must include a recordingelement appropriate in design
19、 and adequate in amount forpurposes of measuring, training, calibrating, and testing. Therecording of measurements may be an electronic record.Primary indications and recorded representations shall be clear,definite, accurate, and easy to read during normal use andtesting of the device.4.2 The minim
20、um character size of all indications necessaryto the measurement process shall be not less than 4 mm andeasy to read under any ambient condition.4.3 Any measuring or evaluation device or system without abuilt-in recording element shall be provided with a communi-cation interface that permits interfa
21、cing with a recordingelement.4.4 All measuring or evaluation devices or systems musteither (1) automatically maintain a ready-to-measure or evalu-ate condition, (2) automatically display a visual indication andrecord a fault condition, or (3) provide no indication ofmeasurement or evaluation.5. Phys
22、ical Properties5.1 Units of Measure:5.1.1 All measuring devices or evaluation systems shallindicate, or record in the appropriate unit of measure for thetechnology applied.5.1.1.1 The value of the smallest unit indicated or recordedshall not exceed 0.05 in. or 1.0 mm for devices providing alinear me
