Using data from the 1999 MAPS Harvest Barley Scheme a comparison has been made between the EBC reference Steineker type Glasblaserei screen and the Sortimat screen for corn size distribution of barley. The Sortimat screen was found to give significantly different results for all sieve sizes except 2.2 mm. The commercial implications for the grain trade in cases of dispute should be noted.
