Official Grain Grading Guide
Peas: Sizing of yellow peas
In yellow peas only, if size is determined as small or large, then size becomes part of the grade name. If a sample does not meet the definition for large or small, it is graded without reference to size.
- Using a Boerner-type divider, divide the cleaned sample to obtain a representative portion of 250 g.
- Sieve the representative portion over the numberNo. 14 round-hole sieve.
- Determine the portion remaining on top of numberNo. 14 round-hole sieve.
| 95% or more remains on top of numberNo. 14 round-hole sieve | Less than 95% remains on top of numberNo. 14 round-hole sieve | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| The sample is designated 'Large'. Example: Peas, numberNo. 2 Canada Yellow 'Large' |

| 90% or more passes through the numberNo. 15 round-hole sieve | Less than 90% passes through | ||
| Determine the amount that remains on top of the numberNo. 11 round-hole sieve. | Graded without reference to size Example: Peas, numberNo. 2 Canada Yellow | ||
