yPhysical and mechanical properties of food crops gain importance during harvesting with machines, separation and cleaning processes of this crop and also during the designation or improvement of this type of machines. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate some moisture-dependent physical properties of round red lentil grains namely, grain dimensions, thousand grain mass, surface area, projected area, sphericity, bulk density, true density, porosity, terminal velocity, static coefficient of friction against different materials and shelling resistance.
