Measuring apparatus and method

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for determining a measurement of a portion of a load in a basket (25) that is rotatably supported provided, the method includes: a) determining, a dry load measurement; b) spinning, the basket (25) that is rotatably supported in order to gradually remove the liquid from the load, wherein the liquid is removed substantially by centrifugal force on the basket (25) that is rotatably supported; c) determining a wet load measurement, wherein the dry load measurement is less than the wet load measurement; d) comparing the dry load measurement to the wet load measurement to determine a remaining liquid measurement; and e) repeating c) and d) until the remaining liquid measurement substantially is within a predetermined percentage threshold of about 0 percent to about 50 percent of the wet load measurement.
