United States standard sieves, 140, 80 and 60 mesh.

Method:  Fifty grams of flour are screened through the appropriate sieve acnording to grade.

2.Cleanliness

Method: Twenty-five grams of the sample are thoroughly dispersed in 150 ml of distilled water in the crystallizing dish and allowed to settle for two hours. The sample is compared against a standard sample for dirt and foreign particles seen from the underside of the dish and in the floating liquid.

3.Moisture

Metal dish, 55 ml in diameter, 15 ml in height, provided with inverted slipin cover fitting tightly on the inside.

Ventilated oven regulated to 130°C ± 5°C.

Method: Approximately 5 g of flour are weighed into a dish which has previously been dried in the oven, cooled, and weighed. The dish is uncovered, and dish, cover and contents are dried in the oven at 130°C 5°C for four hours. The dish is covered while still in the oven and then transferred to the desiccator and weighed when cool. The moisture is calculated and the loss of weight expressed as a percentage of the original sample.
