ACTIVITY 2

1) FLOWCHART FOR THE CALIBRATION OF

MOISTURE METER

Before Measuring
 Load the batteries Put the grain in the hopper
 Place the meter in a Turn on the pm -410 Put the funnel on the top of
horizontal surface, in a the hopper and then put in the
location that is not sample
subjected to wind and Select the product
vibration Remove the funnel, level
the surface
 Prepare the sample to be
measured. Allow it to
equilibrate to the ambient
temperature of the pm -
410
 Prepare the hopper (rice Set the pedestal and the
and palay) hopper
Prepare the sample cup
(corn and other
commodities
Dispose the sample Performing the
measurement

Repeat the process from

putting grain in the
hopper up to disposing
the sample

Replace the battery if the

battery indicator is Taking the average
displayed value
 2) FLOWCHART FOR THE MECHANICAL
PALTFORM SCALE

The object (rice, paddy, corn

or other commodities) to be The platform scale then
weighed is placed on the performed the rest of the
platform work

The object applies compressive

force to the platform; this force is
The process ends by displaying transmitted to the mechanism inside
and reading on the screen or the platform scale that is responsible
indicator of the platform scale for converting into weight
measurement the user can read and
record.
