10、is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be repres
11、ented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are d
12、rafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International S

18、nd definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 2395 (for test sieves) and ISO 3509 (for coffee) apply.4 PrincipleA laboratory sample is separated into fractions according to size by manual (or machine) sieving, and the results are expressed as percentage mass
19、 fractions.5 Apparatus5.1 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 0,1 g.5.2 Nest of test sieves.For the dimensions and sieving medium, the test sieves shall have a sieve surface area of between 550 cm2and 1 000 cm2. Suitable test sieves are, for example, square sieves of size 300 mm, complying w
20、ith the requirements of ISO 2591-1, except that the approximate depth of the sieve may be reduced to 25 mm.The perforated metal plate used as the sieving medium shall be made of metal of suitable strength, such as stainless steel, ordinary steel or zinc, 0,8 mm to 1 mm thick. Each plate shall be per
21、forated in accordance with the requirements given in Annex A or Annex B.The test sieves shall be marked by means of a label attached to the sieve giving the following details:a) traditional numbering (see Annex A); ISO 2011 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 4150:2011NOTE The traditional numbering is given
22、 for information purposes. It corresponds to the nominal aperture size of round apertures or to the width of slotted apertures, expressed in 64ths of an inch, closest to the metric dimension adopted.b) nominal aperture size or the dimensions of slotted apertures (see Annex B);c) in the case of round
23、 holes, the diameter of the sieve current is determined in the verification (see Annex A);d) reference to the International Standard(s) with which the sieve complies;e) material of the sieving medium and that of the frame;f) name of the firm (manufacturer or vendor) taking responsibility for the sie
24、ve;g) identification number.In terms of construction, the test sieve frames shall nest snugly with each other and with the lid and receiver.The frame shall be smooth and the seal of the sieve so constructed as to prevent lodging of the coffee beans being sieved.For verification, new test sieves shal
25、l be tested (for example using the methods described in ISO 3310-2) and a certificate shall be available to this effect. Periodic checking should also be performed, since some changes in the dimensions of the apertures can occur after a period of use.5.3 Test sieves. 5.3.1 Test sieves with round hol
26、es, 11 sieves (see Annex A).5.3.2 Test sieves with slotted holes, 7 sieves (see Annex B).5.4 Lid.The lid shall comply with the requirements of ISO 2591-1.5.5 Receiver.The receiver shall comply with the requirements of ISO 2591-1.5.6 Machine for sieving, having the following features.a) The results o
27、btained over each sieve shall be equal to using the manual method. In Annex D, a guide is presented to carry out this verification.b) The machine shall contain a tray to allow for the assembly of a set with any number of sieves in order to carry out a complete analysis.c) It shall consist of sieves
28、which are easy to fix.d) It shall have an adjustable timer in the 0 min to 3 min range.6 Sampling Take a laboratory sample of 300 g, prepared in accordance with ISO 4072.NOTE The same laboratory sample as used for the examination and determination described in ISO 4149 can be used for the purposes o
29、f this International Standard, provided the sample is fully reconstituted before the test portion is taken for the test sieving.ISO 4150:2011(E)2 ISO 2011 All rights reservedBS ISO 4150:20117 Procedure7.1 Test portionWeigh, to the nearest 0,1 g, 300 g of the laboratory sample.7.2 Selection of sieves
30、Select a nest of sieves (5.2) with round apertures (5.3.1). Assemble the sieves in descending order of aperture size. If dealing with a sample of substantially peaberry coffee, to determine the percentage mass fraction of peaberry in the test portion, use a sieve with slotted openings (5.3.2). Disca
31、rd the sieves with larger apertures through which all beans can pass.NOTE The common sieve numbers are 18, 17, 16, 15, 14 and 12.Place the receiver (5.5) under the sieve with the smallest apertures.7.3 Sieving and weighingPour the test portion (7.1) on to the upper sieve and put the lid (5.4) in pla
32、ce.7.3.1 Manual sieving 7.3.1.1 Spread a clean, dry, soft cloth under the receiver, in order to obtain smooth sliding.Spread the cloth (see 7.2) over a flat surface and then put the nest of sieves on it.7.3.1.2 Agitate uniformly the nest of sieves for 3 min, one way (back and forth) without raising
33、it from the surface at a speed of between 110 cycles per min and 130 cycles per min with a displacement of 10 cm approximately.NOTE A speed with 150 cycles per min and 160 cycles per min and a displacement of 5 cm can be used.If using slotted aperture sieves, agitate in a direction parallel to the l
34、ength of apertures. Beans remaining in apertures shall be considered to be retained on the sieve in question.Remove all the beans from each sieve separately, to avoid loss of the beans. Put the lid on the top of the respective sieve, then put one hand under the sieve and push the beans up. Then, car
35、efully place the beans on a tray.7.3.1.3 Weigh to the nearest 0,1 g, the beans collected on each of the sieves used and in the receiver.7.3.2 Machine sieving7.3.2.1 Put the nest of sieves on the machine (5.6) firmly, and turn the equipment on for 3 min. If using slotted aperture sieves, agitate in a
36、 direction parallel with the length of apertures. Beans remaining in apertures shall be considered to be retained on the sieve in question.7.3.2.2 Remove all the beans from each sieve separately, to avoid loss of the beans. Put the lid on the top of the respective sieve, then put one hand under the
37、sieve and push the beans up. Then, carefully place the beans on a tray.7.3.2.3 Weigh to the nearest 0,1 g, the beans collected on each of the sieves used and in the receiver.7.4 Additional observationsNote whether any of the fractions contains a significant proportion of foreign matter, bean fragmen
