13、ront cover.BS5752-16:1996 BSI 10-1999 1 Introduction Knowledge of the bulk density of green and of roasted whole coffee beans is important for their trade, since it determines the volume occupied by a given mass of beans, which is a factor in their packaging, storage and transport. Bulk density is d
14、efined as the ratio of mass to volume occupied. Measurement of the mass which occupies a fixed known volume under precise conditions of filling is a widely practised technique for determining the bulk density of both green and roasted coffee beans. The bulk density of coffee beans determined in this
15、 manner will vary according to the mass, size and shape of the individual beans and, to a lesser extent, their moisture content at the time of measurement. The filling of a container of known volume in free fall will be influenced by the free-flowing conditions established in the method; the accurac
16、y of the method is influenced by a correct levelling procedure of the beans in the container. Botanic, horticultural, processing, storage and handling factors, including the effect of age, variously influence the bulk density of green coffee beans, whilst their roasting behaviour and conditions addi
17、tionally influence the bulk density of the roasted beans. The method adopted for a routine method needs to be as simple as possible and subject as little as possible to human error in use; the equipment should be easy to make wherever coffee is produced, sold or bought. 1 Scope This International St
18、andard specifies a method for the determination of the bulk density of whole green or roasted coffee beans under free-flow conditions from one container to another. It is to be distinguished from any method determining packed bulk density. The determination of either percentage moisture content or l
19、oss in mass on oven heating is also important and should be carried out at the same time as that of the bulk density determination. The method is not recommended for measurement of the bulk density of ground roasted coffee. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, thr

23、 3 Definition For the purposes of this International Standard, the definitions given in ISO3509and the following definition apply. 3.1 free-flow bulk density ratio of the mass of green or roasted coffee to the volume it occupies (mass per unit volume) after it has been allowed to pour freely into a
24、measuring receptacle, under the conditions specified in this International Standard, at a given moisture content (or a given value for loss in mass on oven heating) it is conventionally expressed in grams per litre (or, equivalently, kilograms per cubic metre) 4 Principle Allowing a sample to flow f
25、reely from a specified hopper into a specified receptacle of known volume, and weighing the contents of the receptacle.BS5752-16:1996 2 BSI 10-1999 5 Apparatus Usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following. 5.1 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of 0,1g. 5.2 Appara
26、tus for determination of free-flow density, consisting of the following. 5.2.1 Funnel-shaped hopper, having a slide gate at its lower extremity, of stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant metal, firmly mounted on a support attached to a rigid base (not shown in Figure 1). The dimensions of the
27、hopper shall conform to those given in Figure 1. 5.2.2 Measuring receptacle, of stainless steel or rigid plastic (of at least6,35mm thickness), of approximate capacity 1000ml. The capacity of the receptacle shall be known to the nearest millilitre, and its exact dimensions, shall conform to those gi
28、ven in Figure 1. The distance between the slide gate of the hopper and the top of the receptacle shall be kept constant at76,2mm 1,5mm. 5.3 Spatula, or other suitable tool for levelling, having a straight edge. 6 Sampling It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representa
29、tive and has not been damaged or changed during transport and storage. Sampling is not part of the method specified in this International Standard. A recommended sampling method for green coffee is given in ISO4072. 1) 7 Preparation of test sample From the laboratory sample, take at least three test
30、 samples of300g each. 8 Procedure 8.1 Carry out determinations on two test samples. 8.2 Close the slide gate of the hopper (5.2.1) and ensure that the distance between the slide gate and the top of the receptacle is as specified. 1) ISO4072:1982, Green coffee in bags Sampling. NOTEBoth hopper and me
31、asuring cylinder have circular cross-sections. Figure 1 Apparatus for the determination of the free-flow bulk density of coffee in whole bean form (green or roasted)BS5752-16:1996 BSI 10-1999 3 8.3 Fill the hopper with the test sample to within2,5mm of the top of the hopper. 8.4 Weigh the measuring
32、receptacle (5.2.2) to the nearest0,1g. Centre the measuring receptacle under the discharge of the hopper and open the slide gate. Allow the hopper to empty and the measuring receptacle to overflow freely (the coffee beans should flow at a constant rate, without forcing). Remove rapidly the excess co
33、ffee beans using the spatula (5.3), held in a horizontal position, to form a level surface that is even with the top of the receptacle. Avoid moving, shaking or vibrating the measuring receptacle before the excess beans are removed. Weigh the measuring receptacle and its contents to the nearest0,1g.
34、 8.5 Determine the moisture content of the third test sample in accordance with ISO1447for green coffee or ISO11817for roasted coffee, or determine the loss in mass on heating in accordance with ISO6673for green coffee or ISO11294for roasted coffee. 9 Calculation The free-flow density, expressed in
35、grams per litre, is given by where Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the values obtained in the two determinations, provided that the repeatability condition (clause10) is satisfied. 10 Repeatability The absolute difference between two independent single test results, obtained using the same
36、 method on identical test material in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within a short interval of time, should not be greater than1% of the mean. 11 Test report The test report shall specify the method in accordance with which sampling was carried out, if known, the
37、method used, the test result(s) obtained, and, if the repeatability has been checked, the final quoted result obtained. It shall also mention all operating details not specified in this International Standard, or regarded as optional, together with details of any incidents which may have influenced
38、the test result(s). The test report shall include the value of the percentage moisture content, or loss in mass on oven heating, and the method used to determine it (8.5). The test method shall include all information necessary for the complete identification of the sample. m 1 is the mass, in grams
39、, of the empty measuring receptacle; m 2 is the mass, in grams, of the measuring receptacle full of coffee beans; V is the capacity, in litres, of the measuring receptacle. m 2 m 1 V -4 blankBS5752-16:1996 BSI 10-1999 List of references See national foreword.BS 5752-16: 1996 ISO 6669:1995 BSI 389 Ch
