EN 13739-2:2003 (E)5If the machine is not designed to be used at a forward speed of 4 km/h, the forward test speed shall be within therange of 8 km/h ± 0,4 km/h or 10 km/h ± 0,5 km/h or 12 km/h ± 0,6 km/h and the number of runs shall be four resp.five resp. six with the flow rate set according to the forward speed. The test speed shall also in this case not varyby more than ± 0,1 km/h from run to run within each test.The forward speed, PTO ratio and disc speed shall be stated in the test report.The distributing mechanism shall be at the height above the fertilizer-collecting containers (the upper edge of thecontainers) equal to that recommended by the manufacturer for work above the ground or the crop.4.2 Test materialsUnless the instruction handbook states otherwise, test materials shall be used from the following groups and asspecified in 6.3 to 6.10:a) a granular fertilizer with bulk density > 0,9 kg/dm3 ;b) a granular fertilizer with bulk density £ 0,9 kg/dm3 ;c) a prilled fertilizer with bulk density > 0,9 kg/dm3 ;d) a prilled fertilizer bulk density £ 0,9 kg/dm3 ;e) a compacted fertilizer.NOTECrystalline fertilizers will be considered during the next revision when they have been used more regularly so thatexperts can agree on their physical properties.The physical properties for the test material to be used shall be within the limits given in Table A.1.The physical properties of the test material used shall be specified in the test report.4.3 Application ratesUnless the instruction handbook states otherwise, the following adjustments calculated for 8 km/h shall be used asselected in 6.3 to 6.10:¾ rate 1:a flow rate corresponding to a minimum application rate for the test material depending on thenutrient content, according to Table 1;¾ rate 2:a flow rate corresponding to a maximum application rate for the test material depending on thenutrient content, according to Table 1;¾ rate 3:a flow rate in between, corresponding to (rate 1 + rate 2)/2.The machine shall be adjusted to give the flow rate of the test material within ± 5 kg/min for flow rates < 100 kg/minand ± 5 % for flow rates ³ 100 kg/min. The flow rates are calculated from application rates and working widths atthe forward driving speed determined in 4.1.SIST EN 13739-2:2004

An example of a funnel shapedcontainer is shown in Figure B.1. The container can also be of rectangular or square vertical section. Test collecting containerswith external top dimensions of 250 mm ´ 500 mm could be used side by side if their collected amount is added together.Existing collecting containers of 250 mm ´ 1 000 mm could be used since it has been shown that the result corresponds to500 mm ´ 500 mm containers.90 % to 100 % of the expected amount of test materials shall be collected.This requirement is checked by comparing the application rate calculated from the collecting containers with theapplication rate obtained in the flow rate test, when using test material from the same batch in both measurements.5.3 Test siteThe tests shall be carried out on an even, horizontal and hard surface. The air velocity shall be less than 2 m/sduring the tests. The air humidity shall be less than 65 % and the temperature 10 °C to 25 °C.The actual values of air humidity, temperature and air velocity shall be stated in the test report. If tests are doneoutdoors, this shall also be stated in the test report.Precautions shall be taken to eliminate ricochets from the ground into the collecting containers.SIST EN 13739-2:2004



EN 13739-2:2003 (E)7The test site shall be fully described in the report.5.4 Handling of test materials during the testsIt is important that the test materials are not exposed to the air more than necessary. The maximum exposure timebefore the test starts is 4 h.All samples, for later analysis of physical properties, shall be immediately put under airtight storage.6 Test methods6.1 Contact with obstaclesFor machines equipped with a boom the following test is performed:An obstacle is placed along a horizontal test track. The machine is moved forward with the speed of 8 km/h. Theboom shall hit the obstacle at 90 % to 100 % of the half boom width out measured from the middle of the track (seeFigure 2 in EN 13739-1:2003).The boom movement is observed during the test. After the test the boom section is inspected for any damage andthe location of damage is noted in the test report.6.2 Estimation of hopper volume – Checking of the spillageThe volume of the hopper shall be estimated with one fertilizer of type a) with a bulk density D measured accordingto EN 1236. If not stated otherwise in the instruction handbook, when estimating the volume of the hopper themachine shall be placed horizontally.The hopper shall be filled between 10 % to 80 % of the basic-hopper volume. This shall be performed three times:one at the 10 % filling level, one at the 45 % filling level and one at the 80 % filling level, with the surface levelledaccording to the instruction handbook.At each time the mass M of fertilizer is measured. The volume V = M / D of the fertilizer put into the hopper shall benoted as well as the volume indicated by the hopper scale. The deviation in percent between the volume of fertilizerput into the hopper and the indicated volume shall be noted.Check by inspection at 80 % filling level of the basic hopper that no spillage occur from the machine duringtransport when the feeding device is closed or disengaged.6.3 Adjustment of flow rateThe obtained flow rate shall be measured with the spreader completely equipped and adjusted for field spreading.If the machine has a manually controlled system for decrease or increase of the flow rate, then the system shall betested at + 20 % and at – 20 % of flow rate 3. The test shall be performed with test material of type a) as specifiedin 4.2.Test samples shall be taken over a period equivalent to that required to collect at least 50 kg.The deviation of the obtained flow rate from the intended flow rate is calculated as a percentage of the intendedflow rate. This value is noted in the test report.NOTEThe test could be performed during the test of flow rate in 6.10.SIST EN 13739-2:2004



EN 13739-2:2003 (E)86.4 Reduced working width or throwing widthThe possibilities to reduce the working width and adjustment for field edge spreading shall be checked with thehopper filled to at least 10 % of the basic hopper volume with a test material of type a) and:1)the working width is reduced symmetrically from the tested working width to the smallest stated reducedworking width;2)the machine is adjusted according to the manufacturer's instruction for field edge spreading.NOTEThe inspections could be done during the tests of 6.9 or 6.10. Points 1) and 2) can be done during the test of 6.6.6.5 Flow rate regulation system, when available (see example in Figure 1)6.5.1 Deviations of the flow rateFill the basic hopper to at least 25 % of the basic hopper volume.Set the machine with the automatic system and the test material of type a) and to the specified flow rate 3.Find out which parameters can influence the regulation system and regulate the flow by using one parameter at atime according to:¾ change in speed ± 50 % of average recommended speed; or¾ change in application rate ± 50 % of the stated flow above.After each change, set the machine to flow rate 3 and measure the deviation between the obtained flow rate andthe intended flow rate.Both positive and negative deviations are measured by collecting all test material with at least 50 kg for eachsample. For each parameter tested two measurements shall be made.Calculate and note in the test report the deviations in percent of the obtained flow rate from the intended flow rate.6.5.2 Continuous mass flow measurementsSet the machine with the automatic system and the test material of type a) to the specified flow rate 3.Measure and note in the test report the time needed to increase the flow rate from flow rate 3 to 1,5 times flowrate 3.Measure and note in the test report the time needed to decrease the flow rate from flow rate 3 to 0,5 times flowrate 3.The deviation of the obtained flow rate from the intended flow rate according to Table 1 of EN 13739-1:2003 has tobe considered.SIST EN 13739-2:2004

The row of containers shall be perpendicular to the direction of travel.Arrange the containers so that the centre of the machine moves between the two collectors which represent thefirst container on right and left side.NOTEThe influence of for example tractor wheels when passing over the containers should be minimised.SIST EN 13739-2:2004



EN 13739-2:2003 (E)106.6.2 ProcedureEither the machine or the collecting containers shall be in motion.Arrange and adjust the machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Carry out the test with the machineadjusted for a speed according to 4.1 and note the adjustments in the test report.If the driving speed is different from 8 km/h the application rate collected from the containers shall be calculated bymultiplying with x/y, where x is the actual speed and y is the speed which the flow rate is adjusted for. Theapplication rate collected shall also be corrected for the number of runs, specified in 4.1.On completion of each test, the hopper shall still be filled to at least 25 % of the stated basic hopper volume, or theminimum of 500 l during the whole test, whichever is the lower.Carry out with test materials of types a) and c) as specified in 4.2 at the three flow rates, as specified in 4.3. Testsshall also be performed for types b), d) and e) with flow rate 3.Weigh the test material collected in each container and calculate the coefficient of variation (CV) according to 7.1.3.The test shall be carried out at least at one working width specified in the instruction handbook. No more than twotests for optimising the spreading pattern are permitted. Optimising tests shall be carried out in accordance withmethods described in handbooks. Settings and results of the tests carried out shall be mentioned in the report.6.7 Evenness of transverse distribution near the field edgeArrange and adjust the machine according to the manufacturer's instructions for border spreading.
