ASABE to Revise Combine and
Grain Harvesting Terminology Standard

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has initiated a revision to ANSI/ASAE S343.3, Terminology for Combines and Grain Harvesting. The standard, which contains terminology pertinent to grain combine design and performance, improves communication among engineers and researchers and provides a basis for comparative listing of machine specifications. Last updated in 1990, the standard is being revised to align terminology with currently used practices.

Conformance to ASABE standards is voluntary, except where required by state, provincial, or other governmental requirements, and the documents are developed by consensus in accordance with procedures approved by the American National Standards Institute.

For information on this or any other ASABE standard, contact Scott Cedarquist at 269-932-7031, cedarq@asabe.org. A current listing of all ASABE standards projects can be found on the ASABE web site at www.asabe.org/projects. S
