Abstract:

Determination of rupture force is essential before designing any threshing equipment. A study was conducted at College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, India during Rabi 2020 to find rupture force of paddy grain. The grain rupture force of six varieties of paddy were determined at four levels of grain moisture content and three levels of loading rate by using Universal Testing Machine. The rupture force of each variety was determined at three loading rate of 10, 15 and 20 mm per min at same four levels of moisture content. It was observed that the rupture force decreased with increase in moisture content of paddy grain.


Keywords: Rupture force, Grain moisture content, Loading rate, Paddy
