Breakout

A system of quality control. Sample eggs selected at random are broken out onto a level surface and the height of the thick albumen is measured with a micrometer. This measurement is then correlated with the weight of the egg to give a Haugh unit measurement. A high Haugh value means high egg quality. At the same time, the condition of the yolk is observed.
