	Grain (measure) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grains are still used as a measure for older drugs such as aspirin, though the milligram has almost completely replaced it.
		Grains are currently used in the USA to measure the mass of bullets and gunpowder, and scales for handloading measure in grains; bullets are generally measured in increments of 1 grain, gunpowder in increments of 0.1 grains.
		Originally, a grain was the weight of a grain seed from the middle of an ear of barley.

	ASTM and Grain Size Measurements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		When a new grain is nucleated during processing (as in solidification or annealing after cold working), the atoms within each growing grain are lined up in a specific pattern that depends upon the crystal structure of the metal or alloy.
		In most cases, the grains observed on a polished cross-sectional plane exhibit a range of sizes around a central mean and individual measurements of grain areas, diameters, or intercept lengths exhibit a normal distribution.
		Grain size measurement is also complicated by the different types of grains that can be present in metals, although their fundamental shapes are the same.

		The grain flow sensor determines the amount of the grain by measuring impact, pressure or other factors.
		Grain flow devices are frequently mounted within the clean grain elevator of the combine and use a range of measurements including capacitance, load cells, mechanical devises to measure volume, transmission of light or radiation, or changes in some parameter upon impact of grain.
		Grain flowing from the top of the clean-grain elevator hits and deflects the curved impact plate of the mass-flow sensor.

		The Act generally requires that export grain be inspected and weighed; prohibits deceptive practices and criminal acts with respect to the inspection and weighing of grain; and provides penalties for violations.
		Under the Act, GIPSA establishes the official grading standards for grain, develops standard testing methodologies to measure grain quality and quantity, and provides for the impartial application of the grades and standards through the official grain inspection and weighing system, a unique network of Federal, State and private inspection agencies.
		Briefly, the U.S. Grain Standards Act provides for the mandatory inspection and weighing of all export grain and the voluntary inspection and weighing of grain moving in domestic commerce.

		All grains are graded into standard qualities for the purpose of fixing a definite market value, the grade being higher and more valuable as the grain is purer.
		This grain tester is used as a standard; it is small and adapted to be held in the hand so the grain can be readily tested as it comes into elevator or plant.
		After cleaning, the grain is returned to the measure and the poise moved to a balance; the figure indicated on the lower row is the percentage of good grain.

	Researchers improve grain yield measurements
		Grain yield is crucial information for commercial and research farms that use the precision farming method, Gray said.
		The most commonly used method of measuring grain yield is a force monitor, which acts like a spring and measures the pressure of the falling grain as it hits the spring and gives the average yield for the field, Gray said.
		As the grain passes through a low-energy X-ray beam on the way to the collection bin, information is relayed to a computer and translated into yield data.

	Calculating Bushels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To calculate bushels by weight, you actually weigh the grain, divide total weight by the standard weight per bushel for that type of grain, measure grain moisture, and finally adjust the number of bushels to the number that you would have at the moisture value specified by the buyer.
		This means that for grain dropped into a pile from an overhead spout, the tangent of the angle of repose is equal to the height of the pile divided by half the width of the pile.
		Grain test weight affects the amount of grain that occupies a given amount of space, but when you sell grain, test weight is not used to calculate the quantity of bushels.

	Real Guns - Extreme Measures, The Harrell Powder Measure
		The measure's handle is then rotated downward, which inverts the cavity, effectively closing the cavity to the powder reservoir, and allowing gravity to empty its contents through the bottom of the measure, and on out through the drop tube.
		The measure's body is cast iron, the powder reservoir is staked in place and must be filled from a powder storage canister, there are no bearings or bushings and the drum rides directly on the machined cast walls of the body (5).
		Smokeless powder is measured by weight, not volume, and any irregularity in metered charge density will cause inconsistencies in weight, regardless the use of: roller bearings, tight tolerance parts, fine resolution of adjustment, or shiny surfaces suitable for use as a shaving mirror.

	Grain Structure Types
		The measurement of grain size, whether by the chart comparison method or by manual or automated measurement methods, is complicated by the different types of grain structures encountered and by the etched appearance of the grains.
		This specimen was etched with nital and not all of the grain boundaries are visible; those that are visible are variable in darkness and width.

	PA-1: Elements of Precision Agriculture: Basics of Yield Monitor Installation and Operation
		An impact sensor measures the mass flow rate of grain through a combine by sensing the force of grain as it impacts a plate or beam, using either a strain gage or a linear potentiometer to measure deflection of the beams or various members holding the plate.
		The presence of grain between the source and sensor attenuates or diminishes the amplitude of radiation incident on the sensor and is a function of the mass of grain between them.
		Measuring the moisture content of the grain is also an important element of yield monitoring.

	SGRL
		Other factors that influence grain quality during storage are age or condition of grain at harvest, temperature at which grain is stored, and storage time.
		Grain characteristics, such as hardness, specific weight and electrical properties, are also influenced by moisture content.

	X-rays make sense
		The X-ray sensor is accurate, insensitive to grain moisture and has a wide dynamic range that enables it to measure a variety of flow rates without needing recalibration.
		The units may be mounted on combines to measure grain as it is harvested.

		The simplest of these is the measurement of the central tendency of which there are three commonly used parameters: the median, the mode, and the mean.
		The median grain size is that which separates 50% of the sample from the other; the median is the 50 percentile.
		In summary the four statistical measurements for sieved samples consist of a measure of central tendency (including median, mode, and mean); a measure of the degree of scatter or sorting; kurtosis, the degree of peakedness; and skewness, the lop-sidedness of the curve.
