15、his International Standard specifies a procedure for adjustment and subsequent calibration of moisture meters for green coffee beans with reference samples (RSs).The RSs are green coffee beans of various moisture contents, determined by a standard method (ISO 6673).NOTE This method of determining th

16、e loss in mass can be considered, by convention, as a method for determining the water content and can be used as such by agreement between the interested parties.This International Standard is applicable to green coffee as beans.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispens

38、IEC Guide 98-3:2008.1When reporting the result of a measurement of a physical quantity, it is obligatory that some quantitative indication of the quality of the result be given so that those who use it can assess its reliability. Without such an indication, measurement results cannot be compared, ei

39、ther among themselves or with reference values given in a specification or standard.It is therefore necessary that there is a readily implemented, easily understood, and generally accepted procedure for characterizing the quality of a result of a measurement, that is, for evaluating and expressing i

40、ts uncertainty.1)The components of moisture measurement uncertainty are:a) URSi: uncertainty of the (assigned) value of the reference sample;b) sri/j: uncertainty type A given by the moisture meter readings obtained from the experimental standard deviation sriusing reference material i, with j = 3 r

41、epetitions (see 6.3.6);c) uBa: uncertainty type B due to moisture meter accuracy;d) uBr: uncertainty type B due to moisture meter resolution;e) uBTi: uncertainty type B due to the temperature (see 6.4 and D.4).Calculate the expanded uncertainty of the moisture meter, Umi, for each moisture point i u

44、value, generate a calibration curve by comparing the equipment readings for each sample with the moisture of the RSs.For a graphic calibration, plot the n values of the reading means, wijr, on the abscissa against the n values of sample moisture content, wiRSon the ordinate, with i = 1 . n for the s

45、amples and j = 1, 2, 3 for the replicate readings to obtain the calibration curve.The calibration curve relates the equipment readings to moisture content (or mass fraction loss) of the reference samples.For calculation, a linear regression is suitable in most cases.17 Expression of resultsThe moist
