EN ISO 7971-1:2009 (E) DIN EN ISO 7971-1:2010-01 31 Scope This part of ISO 7971 specifies the reference method for the determination of bulk density, called “mass per hectolitre”, of cereals as gr

20、ain. NOTE Several routine methods are used in different countries. A routine method for the determination of bulk density, called “mass per hectolitre”, is given in ISO 7971-3. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 bulk density “mas

21、s per hectolitre” cereals ratio of the mass of a cereal to the volume it occupies after being poured into a container under well-defined conditions NOTE 1 Bulk density is expressed in kilograms per hectolitre of grain as received. NOTE 2 The bulk density, as defined in this part of ISO 7971, is diff

22、erent from “packing density” or “intrinsic density” of cereals. 3 Principle A sample is poured in a controlled manner from a hopper into a 20 l container, which is then weighed. 4 Requirements for apparatus 4.1 General The apparatus used shall comply with the following requirements, which correspond

23、 to those in OIML R 15 2, and shall be similar to that shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Apparatus for determining bulk density of cereals 4.2 Description and operation 4.2.1 Pre-filling container. The pre-filling measure has a nominal volume of 24

27、l. Its internal form is a right circular cylinder with height approximately equal to its diameter. 4.2.2 Filling hopper. The hopper has the shape of a truncated vertical circular cone surmounted by a cylindrical rim. Its lower part terminates in an axial tube with a slightly tapering bore, the wider

28、 end of which is at the bottom. A shutter, hinge-mounted on the tube and able to close the tube completely, controls the emptying process. The hopper receives from the pre-filling container a quantity of grain greater than the content of the measuring container. 4.2.3 Distributor. The distributor is

29、 an inverted circular mushroom-shaped element connected to the bottom end of a vertical rod positioned in the axis of the hopper. The rod lowers the distributor inside the tapered tube to an adjustable level from top to bottom to allow adjustment of the apparatus: lowering the distributor increases

30、the rate of flow of the grain, which collects in greater quantity owing to compaction in the measuring container, thus giving higher results; conversely, the results are lower when the distributor is raised. 4.2.4 Measuring container. The measuring container has a nominal volume of 20 l. Its interna

31、l form is a right circular cylinder with height approximately equal to its diameter. Its upper edge is ground flat. 4.2.5 Base support for the measuring container. A base on rails supports the container and allows it to travel underneath the hopper, in the axis of which it can be locked, or taken ou

32、t of the chassis for easy removal. 4.2.6 Protection and guiding collar for grain flow. A cylindrical collar, of the same diameter as the measuring container, is placed between the hopper and the measuring container, leaving a horizontal space between its lower edge and the upper edge of the containe

33、r to allow the passage of a straightedge. During filling, the collar, which is surmounted by a truncated cone-shaped section, protects the grain as it drops and at the end retains the surplus grain. 4.2.7 Straightedge (levelling blade). The straightedge is a flat, thin but rigid steel blade, sharpen

34、ed to the form of an open V at the front. It is fixed horizontally in a frame mounted on rollers and driven in its plane by a counterweight. EN ISO 7971-1:2009 (E) DIN EN ISO 7971-1:2010-01 6The frame guides the straightedge across the grain in the gap between the collar and the upper edge of the me

35、asuring container. The movement shall be continuous and not jerky, and the straightedge shall touch neither the collar nor the container. In its movement, the straightedge levels the grain to the level of the measuring container, thus giving a determined volume. 4.2.8 Collecting box for surplus grai

36、n. At the same time as levelling the grain, the straightedge also closes off the lower surface of the collar as it removes from the container any grain surplus to its volume. When the straightedge is drawn back, with the container removed, this surplus grain falls into a collecting box placed beneat

37、h the base of the container and towards which the grain is guided by a skirt. 4.2.9 Overall assembly. The apparatus is assembled in a rigid chassis equipped with a verticality adjustment screw; verticality is checked by means of a plumbline or a spirit-level. The hopper with its tube and distributor

38、, the collar and the measuring container shall be coaxial and positioned vertically by means of the adjustment device described above, the upper edge of the measuring container thus being horizontal. 4.2.10 Weighing device. The grain contained in the measuring container is weighed using a non-automa

39、tic balance which has been weighted to compensate for the mass of the empty container. Therefore, one single weighing gives the mass of the grain. The error of the balance shall not exceed 0,01 % of load between 10 kgf and 20 kgf or, when using weights, the sum of errors of weights shall not exceed

40、0,02 %. 4.3 Dimensions 4.3.1 Pre-filling container This shall have the following dimensions: volume to top: 24 l 0,1 l; internal diameter: 300 mm 10 mm; internal height: approximately 340 mm, adjusted to obtain the specified volume. 4.3.2 Filling hopper This shall have the following dimensions: a) t

47、(l) is carried out by comparison with a calibrated national or international measurement standard instrument1)(E). Use a wheat free from impurities, whose grains are approximately spherical, with a standard mass per hectolitre of not less than 80 kg/hl, at the same temperature and under the same con

48、dition of humidity as the atmosphere of the room where the measurement is to be made. For this purpose, spread the cereal in a thin layer and leave it for 10 h (one night) in the room where the measurement is to be made, ensuring that the relative humidity of the air does not exceed 60 %. Carry out

49、six measurements with each apparatus, using the same sample of 24 l of grain, in the following order. Before each new measurement, the grain contained in the measuring container should be well mixed with the grain that has fallen into the collecting box during the previous measurement.
