Spelt has large pithy stems. As with oats, the hulls remain on the grain in threshing and comprise 20% to 30% of the grain weight. No official test weight has been established for spelt, but recent tests show that unhulled it averaged 28 lb/bu. The test weight of hulled seed is close to that of wheat (60 lb/bu).
By cleaning and clipping, grain companies, processors, and seed cleaning plants, can take 38 pound oats and produce bushel weights of 42 to 43 pounds or more for the performance and milling markets. In years with better growing conditions, 42 pound oats are often cleaned up to 48 pounds or higher. When dealing with the US oat market, special attention must be paid to the definition of bushel weight. The US uses a Winchester bushel (1.244 cu. ft. or 35.239 liters) while Canada uses an Avery or Imperial bushel (1.2843 cu. ft. or 36.369 liters).
