Agency that performed the test, when applicable.4.  Location of the field office or agency that is being tested.5.  Complete either Scale Test or Beam Test.     a. Scale Test.  Certify that the electronic (or mechanical, general-class scale) has been tested in accordance with         appropriate instructions in Chapter 2.     b. Beam Test.  Show the load in the kettle, the beam readings, and the error.  Reading minus target weight equals error.           Do not fill in for electronic scales.6.  Grain Test.      a. Test unit's brand and serial number.     b. Test unit's results, shown as indicated (or to 0.00 pound) for electronic scales.  For beams, the tenth pound per bushel          graduations shall be broken down into 1/4 increments and read as 0.025, 0.050, 0.075, 0.100.     c. For each sample, examine the five readings and strike the highest and the lowest resul and Average of the remaining three          readings, shown to 0.000 pound per bushel.      d. The summary “TOTAL” result for the Test Unit is the sum of the averages from  Samples 1, 2 and 3.      e. Total Difference is divided by 3 to yield mean deviation from standard (MDS), shown to 0.01 lb/bu.     f. Mean deviation from standard tolerance is ± 0.15 lb/bu.7.  Remarks.  Show date of last volume test, date that Class F weights were tested, etc.8.  Volume Test.       a.
