Solid biofuels - Determination of particle size distribution for uncompressed fuel- Part 2: Vibrating screen method using sieves with aperture of 3,15 mm and below (ISO 17827-2:2016)

This international standard describes method for determination of the the size distribution of particulate biofuels by the
horizontally oscillating screen method. It applies to particulate uncompressed fuels with a nominal top size of 1 mm and
above such as wood chips, hog fuel, olive stones etc. A sample is subjected to sieving through horizontally oscillating
sieves, sorting the particles in decreasing size classes by mechanical means.The sieving operation shall be horizontally
oscillating (one or two dimensional), using an appropriate stroke-frequency according to the type of material. The number of
sieves and the aperture sizes of the sieves shall be chosen according to the size specification of the actual sample material.

Biogene Festbrennstoffe - Bestimmung der Partikelgrößenverteilung für unkomprimierte Brennstoffe - Teil 2: Vertikales Rüttelsiebverfahren mit Sieben zur Klassifizierung von Proben mit einer Höchst-Sieb-Lochgröße von 3,15 mm und darunter (ISO 17827-2:2016)

Dieses Teil der ISO 17827 legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Größenverteilung von biogenen Brennstoffen als Schüttgut durch das Rüttelsiebverfahren fest. Das beschriebene Verfahren ist ausschließlich für biogene Brennstoffe als Schüttgut vorgesehen, d. h. Materialien, die entweder in ihrer Größe reduziert worden sind, so wie die meisten Holzbrennstoffe, oder die als Schüttgut vorliegen. Dieses Teil der ISO 17827 gilt für unkomprimierte Brennstoffe in Form von Schüttgut mit einer nominellen Siebgröße von 3,5 mm und weniger (z. B. Sägespäne).

Biocombustibles solides - Détermination de la distribution granulométrique des combustibles non comprimés - Partie 2: Méthode au tamis vibrant d'ouverture de maille inférieure ou égale à 3,15 mm (ISO 17827-2:2016)

ISO 17827-2:2016 spécifie une méthode de détermination de la distribution granulométrique des biocombustibles particulaires à l'aide d'un tamis vibrant. La méthode décrite est destinée uniquement aux biocombustibles particulaires, c'est-à-dire à des matériaux qui ont été fragmentés, comme la plupart des combustibles ligneux, ou qui se présentent physiquement sous forme particulaire. La présente partie de l'ISO 17827 s'applique aux combustibles particulaires non comprimés de dimension supérieure nominale inférieure ou égale à 3,15 mm (par exemple la sciure).

Trdna biogoriva - Določevanje porazdelitve velikosti delcev za nekomprimirana goriva - 2. del: Metoda z vibracijskim sitom z odprtinami 3,15 mm in manj (ISO 17827-2:2016)

Ta mednarodni standard opisuje metodo za določanje porazdelitve velikosti delcev biogoriv z metodo z vodoravno nihajočim sitom. Uporablja se za nestisnjena goriva z nazivno zrnatostjo vsaj 1 mm, kot so lesni sekanci, drobljenci, olivne koščice itd. Vzorec se preseje skozi vodoravno nihajoča sita, ki mehansko razvrstijo delce po velikosti od največjih do najmanjših. Sejanje mora potekati z vodoravno nihajočim premikanjem (eno- ali dvodimenzionalno) in uporabo ustrezne frekvence sunkov skladno z vrsto materiala. Število sit in velikosti njihovih odprtin je treba izbrati v skladu s specifikacijo velikosti dejanskega vzorčnega materiala.

A test sample is subjected to sieving through vibrating sieves, sorting the particles in decreasing size
classes by mechanical means.
Note Manual sieving is excluded due to the fact that small sieve holes may easily be clogged by particles.

sieve area of 250 cm is required. For test samples with a top size below 3,15 mm the sieves shall have
an aperture geometry in accordance with ISO 3310 Part 1 (metal wire cloth) and for test materials with
a top size 3,15 mm or above the sieves shall have round perforated holes in metal plate in accordance
with ISO 3310 Part 2 (perforated metal plate). The frame of the sieves shall have a height that enable
the sieves to contain the samples and allows a free movement of the sample during the sieving process.
