SPECIFICATIONS Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. CHARACTERISTICS AND APPLICA-

TION: This Kit is to be used only in

determining the percentage of fat content of ground beef containing from 10% to 40% fat.

GROUND MEAT SAMPLE: Sample

must

be a composite which is homogeneous in nature – three or four samples taken during a run, and thoroughly mixed.

SAMPLE WEIGHT: A 56.7 gram sample

must be weighed accurately. Any deviation will cause an error in fat percentage reading.

SAMPLE SHAPE: Meat patty shape

must

be donut-shaped with a hole thru

the patty center.

SAMPLE TEMPERATURE:

Cannot

be less than 33°F., preferably between 35°F., to 50°F., and free of ice crystals.

MOISTURE LOSS: Sample

must not

be exposed to air for any length of time, since dehydration will cause a corre-

sponding increase in fat analysis, not truly representative of the original sample.

OPERATION: A 56.7 gram sample is

inserted in position beneath the heating element. Sample meat must be twice ground (minimum) with the last grind thru a 1/8" plate. Heater is turned on by the timer. Fat is rendered from the sample into a test tube below the heater. The column of fat is measured in terms of the percentage of fat in the ground beef by means of a calibrated scale and movable pointer mounted vertically next to the test tube. The end of the test is signified by a pilot light going off and the timer being automatically turned off. This kit is not to be operated in an environment below 65°F.

ACCURACY: The F-101 is manufactured

to indicate fat percentage of ground beef only. It will indicate fat content of a sample and the results will be within plus or minus 1% if operated in

accordance with instructions. It is recommended that specifications for fat content be based on results obtained with the F-101 to assure that test methods of buyer and supplier of ground beef are the same.
