Establish an Average Piece Weight (APW)
Each time a new type of part is counted, the nominal weight of
one piece (Average Piece Weight or APW) must be established
using a small quantity of pieces. This APW is stored until
replaced by another APW.
There are two methods to establish the APW value:
1. The actual APW is known; or
2. The APW must be derived by weight. For this case the
current sample size will be used
To choose a different value, establish it beforehand, using the Sample Size button. (See below.)
