CEN/TC 338/WG 7 - Mass per hectolitre

This document specifies a test method for ensuring the traceability of bulk density, called "mass per hectolitre", measuring instruments through reference to standard measurement instruments. The mass per hectolitre is of commercial importance for grain cereals. Several types of instruments with varying performances exist for measuring it.
This document also specifies the performances required of national standards instruments, secondary standards instruments, and measuring instruments used in laboratories or in collection or storage silos.

This document specifies a routine method for the determination of bulk density, called "mass per hectolitre", of cereals as grain using manual or automatic, mechanical, electric or electronic mass per hectolitre measuring instruments.
NOTE       Further details of the measuring instruments are specified in ISO 7971‑2:2019, 6.4.

ISO 7971-1:2009 specifies the reference method for the determination of bulk density, called “mass per hectolitre”, of cereals as grain.

ISO 7971-3:2009 specifies a routine method for the determination of bulk density, called “mass per hectolitre” of cereals as grain using manual or automatic, mechanical, electric or electronic mass per hectolitre measuring instruments.

ISO 7971-2:2009 specifies a test method for ensuring the traceability of mass per hectolitre measuring instruments through reference to standard measurement instruments. The mass per hectolitre or bulk density is of commercial importance for grain cereals. Several types of instruments with varying performances exist for measuring it.
