ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for determining the percent fat of a meat product such as beef or pork. The device 10 is presented in two designs, the first design uses a mechanical device in the form of a slide chart (12) and the second design employs an electronic device which is disclosed in three design configurations. The slide chart includes a stationary member (14) having a plurality of percent moisture windows (30) and percent fat windows (32) and a movable member (62) having a multiplicity of percent moisture figures (72) and percent fat figures (74). When a selected percent moisture figure (72) is located on the percent moisture window (30) the equivalent percent fat figure (74) is displayed on the percent fat window (32). The first design of the electronic device consists of a hand-held electronic calculator (90) which calculates the percent fat of the meat product when the percent moisture is known. The second design of the electronic device utilizes a percent moisture analyzer (110) that is connected, via a cable assembly (119), to an electronic calculator (94) which calculates the percent fat. The third electronic device design consists of an integrated percent moisture and fat analyzer (108).
