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:
• The actual APW is known.
• 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 Set a Known
Average Piece Weight.)
