Official procedures have been established for testing Wheat, Corn, Barley, Rye, Flaxseed, Rice and grain Sorghums. Instructions on the proper riddles and sieves to use, along with their procedures for testing these grains are furnished with the tester and can also be found on the USDA Federal Grain Inspection Service website.

The casters retract into the base so the tester can be leveled with the four adjustment legs.
