FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Harvesting and Threshing Equipment Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Food and Agriculture Division Council.
Combine-harvester-thresher,
commonly known as combine, is being increasingly used for a combination
of operations,
such as, harvesting, threshing, separating and cleaning, particularly for cereal crops in
the country. As a result of its increasing use, the need for standardized
tests for helping the testing
authorities for the assessment of the performance of the combine on uniform and rationalized basis was
felt and accordingly this standard was published in 1976.
This test code was published in two parts. This part ( Part 1 ) covering definitions of the different terms
most commonly used in relation to the combines to help in proper and uniform understanding to
various terms, was published in 1976. The other part covering the methods of tests for performance of
combine was published in 198 1. Now. this part is being revised to incorporate the following points
raised by the testing authorities and manufacturers in addition to Amendments No. 1 and 2 issued to
this part:
i) Change of definition of combine capacity;
ii) Change of conditions for capacity testing with various crops given in Table 1; and
iii) Addition of conditions for capacity testing with Soyabean and barley and modification
definition for grain output.
of
In the revision of this part assistance has been derived from the document IS0 6689 : 1961 Equipment
for harvesting-combines
and functional components -definitions,
specifications and performance, issued
by the International
Organization for Standardization.
