TLOC = ND, Nq + WV Nkz where Dl D2 4 is the effective diameter of the upper rear feedroll, in millimetres; is the effective diameter of the lower rear feedroll if used, in millimetres; is the rotational frequency of the upper rear feedroll, in minutes to the power minus one; N2 is the rotational frequency of the lower rear feedroll if used, in minutes to the power minus one; N k is the rotational frequency of the rotor, in minutes to the power minus one; is the number of feedrolls, or, in the case of a rotor with multiple knives, the total number of knives in each unit; Z corresponds to the number of feedrolls: z = 1, if the machine has one feedroll and z = 2 in other cases. If the Forage harvester does not use feedrol,ls as a means of supplying the cutting mechanism, the following requirements apply. a) For forage harvesters where the feeding auger is positioned substantially parallel to the cutter- head, the numerator shall be replaced by the lin- ear speed of the auger flights multiplied by a combined slip and compaction factor of 0,7, and z shall be taken equal to 1. Where the manufac- turer(s) specify a different factor, this shall be used. 4 Q IS0 b) For forage harvesters where the feeding auger is positioned substantially perpendicular to the cutterhead, the numerator shall be replaced by the,linear speed of the auger flights multiplied by a combined slip and compaction factor of 0,85, and z shall be taken equal to 1. Where the manu- facturer(s) specify a different factor, this shall be used. c) For forage harvesters with a different feed mechanism, the manufacturer s crop mat velocity data (IS0 8909-1:1994, definition 5.25) at the feed- on point of the cutterhead may be used in the numerator, and z shall be taken equal to 1. d) For random-cut (flail-type) forage harvesters gathering precut crop, there is no reliable method to calculate the theoretical length of cut. When the crop is cut directly, the numerator shall be taken equal to the forward speed of the machine, k shall be taken equal to the ratio of the sum of the cutting widths of all the flails to the effective width of the rotor, and z shall be taken equal to 1. 3.3 Performance 3.3.1 The crop throw distance (IS0 8909-1:1994, definition 7.3) shall be indicated, in addition to the information specified in 3.2.5. 3.3.2 The whole grain or maize fraction (IS0 8909-1:1994, definition 7.4) shall ,be expressed as the ratio, to the nearest half-percent, of the mass of whole grain or maize to the total mass yield, or, as an alternative, as the total grain or maize yield of the crop, as a mass. The calculation method used shall be indicated. Dye penetrants may be used to detect broken grain or maize. I 1 I ; 1 i 1 ; I I. i I 1: I 1 i: 1 /. i I , 1 1 I 1 / I i !
