EVALUATION OF UNCERTAINTY OF THE RICE MOISTURE MEASUREMENT BY THE DRYING METHOD

Hideyuki Tanaka, Toshimichi Watanabe, Mihoko Yabe

Abstract

The uncertainty in the rice moisture content measured by the drying method, which is the highest standard in rice moisture content measurements, was evaluated. Based on the results, it was possible to assign a numerical index to the precision of the measurement obtained by the drying method. Further, since it is now possible to assign uncertainty for rice to calibrate rice moisture meters, this has for establishing traceability of the rice moisture meters in International System Units (SI).
