hPlace the pin spacers near the tips of the pins when con-
tact is first made with the bale. This helps to keep the pins
parallel as they are forced into the bale.
The
491 contact pins are insulated, except for 1-3/4" at
#
the tip. The insulation helps to identify the area of moisture,
since the reading is obtained from the tip of the pin. Keeping
track of moisture readings as the pins are pushed into the
bale will give an idea of the uniformity of moisture distribu-
tion in the bale. Higher moisture readings near the surface
are an indication that the cotton has been exposed to higher
moisture af ter baling.
The C -2000 gives accurate results on normally compressed
bales. If the bale is loosely packed, the meter will read lower
than the actual moisture content. If the bale is very tightly
packed, the readings will be only slightly higher than normal,
and as a rule, no correction needs to be made.
Well-conditioned material will give uniform readings; however,
material that is baled before it is dry will show a wide range
of moisture content. Several tests should be made on each
bale, and you should note the average and the highest read-
ings of these tests.
