AM 5200-A Update Options (USA ONLY)


The USDA FGIS updates the UGMA Grain Moisture calibrations each May and August. Implementing these updates is mandatory for all USDA Official Grading facilities and all facilities using the meters for trade. We offer simple ways to ensure your instrument is up to date. The current calibration update is available below. The updates are typically made available 3 to 5 days before the implementation date.

  • Free download to your computer - Read these instructions prior to proceeding. Download the newest calibration file here.
  • USB purchase - PER559898 One part number for the May or August update. So, if you order in mid-April through June, you will get the May release, otherwise it will be the August release. EHconsumableSales@perkinelmer.com
