When manual stream sampling with a hand scoop off the top of a belt, insert the sampling tool into the stream at an alternate point across the stream (left, middle, right) for each sampling action. The scoop should be placed into the flow of product “upstream” and matching the belt speed, moved “downstream”, as the scoop is turned to fill with grain. Moving the scoop with the flow allows sampling of the appropriate location on the belt without splashing product or overflowing the scoop.When manual stream sampling free-flowing product, the scoop should be placed in to the flow of product upside down, then rotated 180 degrees to fill, and then pulled out of the product flow.

Stream sampling bulk grain into containers The sampling frequency is determined by the how much time is needed to load the grain and the lot size. The Grain Commission requires a minimum of 5 primary samples per 20 tonne container, collected systematically at evenly spaced timed intervals (at least one primary sample every 4 metric tonnes). If a larger composite sample is required, reduce the interval between primary sample collections throughout the entire loading process.
