The diverter sampler is the primary sampling device for sampling grain lots while the lots are being conveyed. The diverter takes a periodic cut from a grain stream. The composite of the probes or the diverter cuts from a lot become the representative sample for the lot. 2, record 1, English, - diverter%20sampler

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 2, 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 2, French, - puisette

When the scale floor indicates that the appropriate garner is empty, the valve at the bottom of the unloading pit is activated. The grain discharges onto a conveyor belt and is transferred to the boot of the receiving leg. En route it passes under a large electro magnet which removes all ferrous metal from the grain. An automatic sampler, operating under the supervision of the Grain Commission's Inspection Division, takes a representative sample of each carload before it reaches the receiving leg. 2, record 3, English, - garner

Dès que le préposé à la bascule signale qu'une trémie de réception est disponible, on actionne la vanne au fond de la fosse de déchargement. Le grain se déverse sur une bande transporteuse et s'achemine jusqu'au pied de l'élévateur en passant, en cours de route, sous un puissant électro-aimant qui extrait toutes les particules métalliques. Une sonde automatique fonctionnant sous la surveillance de la division de l'inspection de la Commission canadienne des grains prélève un échantillon représentatif de chaque wagon avant son arrivée au pied de l'élévateur. 2, record 3, French, - tr%C3%A9mie%20de%20r%C3%A9ception
