The basic accuracy of the instrument is ±().5% m.c., but
variations due to the nature of the samples may reduce this to
m.c. The accuracy tends to fall at high moisture contents.

The calibrations, which are made by comparison with standard
analytical procedures, are based on ground samples wherever
possible.
The standard apparatus includes the Calibration Data for the
cereal grains and agricultural seeds.
