Taking The Sample Of Raw Cotton - Wile Cotton Instrucciones De Uso

EN
Scale -1- is a general scale for all types of
raw cotton listed in the list. To get the most
reliable measurement results, define what
type of raw cotton you are going to
analyse and choose the scale accordingly.
For measuring the moisture content of
raw cotton set the density to the value
220 kg/m³.
If the meter has not been used for some
time, follow these steps:
- replace the battery (for more details
see paragraph 7. Battery)
- read the operating instructions
thoroughly

4.2. Taking the sample of raw cotton

To get the reliable measurement result
take the sample which shows the average
quality of the whole lot of cotton.
As raw cotton is a heterogeneous
material, always remember to take the
samples from different places of the load.
We recommend taking at least 5 sample.
Define the moisture content of the load by
calculating the average value of those five
measurements. To calculate the average
value, see paragraph 5. "Processing the
result. Automatic average calculation".
Measurements of raw cotton are made in
the plastic bucket (minimum volume 10
litres) or in any other dish with the density
of 220 kg/m³.
Place the sample of raw cotton to the
bucket (layers). Make 4-5 layers as shown
in the picture. Press each layer slightly
with your hand with a pressure/ strength
20 kg.
