An instrument or device used for obtaining representative grain samples. It usually is made of metal and consists of two tubes from six ins. to eight ft. in length. These tubes are slotted on the sides, and one is closely fitted but freely moving within the other. When closed this instrument may be inserted in a bag or bin of grain and then opened to admit a representative sample from each and every layer of the grain. After filling the trier is closed and withdrawn and the sample discharged upon an examination cloth for inspection or grading. 3, record 3, English, - grain%20trier

The grade assigned to a parcel of grain is only as representative of the quality of that grain as the sample taken for grading. It is, therefore, very important that the sample be truly representative of the complete parcel. Most grain officially inspected on entry or discharge from a terminal elevator is officially sampled by an automatic sampler installed and operated under supervision of the Commission's Inspection Division. The automatic sampler is a mechanical device that takes a representative sample from a stream of grain moving on a belt or through a spout. Where there are no automatic samplers, samples are taken by hand scoops or dipper samplers. 1, record 5, English, - sampling%20dipper

Le grade attribué à un lot de grain n'est représentatif de la qualité du grain que dans la mesure où l'échantillon l'est du lot. Il importe donc que l'échantillon soit vraiment représentatif du lot complet. La plus grande partie du grain inspecté officiellement à l'arrivée dans un silo portuaire ou au départ est prélevée à l'aide d'un appareil automatique installé et utilisé sous la surveillance de la division de l'inspection de la Commission. Cet appareil prélève mécaniquement un échantillon représentatif au passage du grain sur un convoyeur ou déversé par une goulotte. A défaut d'un échantillonneur automatique, on prélève des échantillons à l'aide d'une pelle à main ou d'une puisette. 1, record 5, French, - puisette

The "Index-grain apparatus"(...) is a sedimentation device in which the free fall of grains is slowed by three nozzle-like constrictions which cause turbulence that results in better grading of the grains. In order to distinguish between the single grain fractions which settle in a graduated, conical, water-filled sedimentation vessel, a colored index set of three known grain fractions is added to the sediment before separation : 1 cmthree black grains in the grade 0. 02-0. 035 mm 1 cmthree red grains in the grade 0. 063-0. 11 mm 1 cmthree black grains in the grade 0. 2-0. 35 mm(...) The suspension with the added index set is poured into the filling tube, which is closed from below with a float stopper. The stopper is opened by squeezing a rubber bulb on the filling tube, and the suspension can immediately enter the lower sedimentation tube. The filling tube has a constriction that generates turbulence. The grains therefore enter the sedimentation tube pregraded. By multiplying the percentage volumes of the individual grades(minus the added colored index grains of each grade) by the average bulk density [(gamma]=1. 56), the weight-percentages of the individual grades are calculated on the basis of 100% dry material. 1, record 9, English, - Index%2Dgrain%20apparatus

Cet appareil, d'un type très spécial, a été conçu par un ingénieur allemand, "M. Spoerel". Sept centimètres cubes du sable à étudier sont mélangés à une poudre de grains de quartz colorés comprenant: 1 cm [cube] de grains noirs de 0,5-0,2 mm; 1 cm [cube] de grains rouges de 0,1-0,055 mm; 1 cm [cube] de grains noirs de 0,045-0,020mm. L'ensemble est mis en sédimentation dans un tube présentant des étranglements; le matériel, classé par tailles, se rassemble dans un tube gradué, oû l'on peut faire aisément la lecture des pourcentages grâce aux grains colorés (en retirant naturellement les 3 cm [cube] de sable comparateur introduit). Cet appareil présente de notables inconvénients, le principal étant la tension superficielle créée par le colorant à base d'aniline à la surface des grains de sable comparateurs. 1, record 9, French, - appareil%20%C3%A0%20grains%20color%C3%A9s%20comparateurs
