The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical commit
7、tees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the In
8、ternational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
9、 Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
10、subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 4150 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 15, Coffee. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4150:1991), which has been tec
11、hnically revised.

26、1 All rights reserved7 Procedure 7.1 Test portion Weigh, to the nearest 0,1 g, 300 g of the laboratory sample. 7.2 Selection of sieves Select a nest of sieves (5.2) with round apertures (5.3.1). Assemble the sieves in descending order of aperture size. If dealing with a sample of substantially peabe
27、rry coffee, to determine the percentage mass fraction of peaberry in the test portion, use a sieve with slotted openings (5.3.2). Discard the sieves with larger apertures through which all beans can pass. NOTE The common sieve numbers are 18, 17, 16, 15, 14 and 12. Place the receiver (5.5) under the
28、 sieve with the smallest apertures. 7.3 Sieving and weighing Pour the test portion (7.1) on to the upper sieve and put the lid (5.4) in place. 7.3.1 Manual sieving 7.3.1.1 Spread a clean, dry, soft cloth under the receiver, in order to obtain smooth sliding. Spread the cloth (see 7.2) over a flat su
29、rface and then put the nest of sieves on it. 7.3.1.2 Agitate uniformly the nest of sieves for 3 min, one way (back and forth) without raising it from the surface at a speed of between 110 cycles per min and 130 cycles per min with a displacement of 10 cm approximately. NOTE A speed with 150 cycles p
30、er min and 160 cycles per min and a displacement of 5 cm can be used. If using slotted aperture sieves, agitate in a direction parallel to the length of apertures. Beans remaining in apertures shall be considered to be retained on the sieve in question. Remove all the beans from each sieve separatel
31、y, to avoid loss of the beans. Put the lid on the top of the respective sieve, then put one hand under the sieve and push the beans up. Then, carefully place the beans on a tray. 7.3.1.3 Weigh to the nearest 0,1 g, the beans collected on each of the sieves used and in the receiver. 7.3.2 Machine sie
32、ving 7.3.2.1 Put the nest of sieves on the machine (5.6) firmly, and turn the equipment on for 3 min. If using slotted aperture sieves, agitate in a direction parallel with the length of apertures. Beans remaining in apertures shall be considered to be retained on the sieve in question. 7.3.2.2 Remo
33、ve all the beans from each sieve separately, to avoid loss of the beans. Put the lid on the top of the respective sieve, then put one hand under the sieve and push the beans up. Then, carefully place the beans on a tray. 7.3.2.3 Weigh to the nearest 0,1 g, the beans collected on each of the sieves u
34、sed and in the receiver. 7.4 Additional observations Note whether any of the fractions contains a significant proportion of foreign matter, bean fragments or broken beans. In this case, apply ISO 4149. ISO 4150:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved 38 Statement of results 8.1 The result, w gc , is ex
35、pressed as a mass fraction retained over each sieve in the following manner: where w gcis the mass fraction retained with the sieve number, S; m Sis the coffee bean mass, with the sieve number, S, expressed in grams; m Tis the total mass of the sample, expressed in grams. 8.2 The total percentage of
36、 all sieves shall be equal to (100 0,5) % of the mass of the test portion. If this is not the case, the test is not valid and shall be repeated using another laboratory sample. 9 Precision 9.1 General The results of an interlaboratory test are given in Annex C. 9.2 Repeatability The absolute differe
37、nce between two single test re sults for a given sieve size, S, obtained using the same method on the identical test material in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same equipment within a short interval of time, should not be greater than the repeatability limit, r S , for this sieve
38、. r S= 2,8 S r= 0,0187 w S+ 0,099 1 where w Sis the mean of the results on the respective sieve. 9.3 Reproducibility The absolute difference between two single test re sults for a given sieve size, S, obtained using differ ent equipment, should not be greater than the re producibility limit, R S , f
39、or this sieve. R S = 2,8 S R= 0,1237 w S+ 0,590 9 where w Sis the mean of the results on the respective sieve. 10 Test report The test report shall contain at least the following information: a) reference to this International Standard, i.e. ISO 4150:2011; b) all the information necessary for the co
