Solid biofuels - Determination of particle size distribution of material within pellets (ISO 17830:2016)

This international standard describes the method for determination of the particle size of disintegrated pellets. The pellets
are disolved in water and dried after which the particles are sieved to determine the size of the particles constituting the
pellets.

Biocombustibles solides - Détermination de la distribution granulométrique des granulés désintégrés (ISO 17830:2016)

ISO 17830:2016 a pour objet de définir les exigences qui s'appliquent et la méthode utilisée pour déterminer la distribution granulométrique des granulés désintégrés. Elle est applicable aux granulés qui se désintègrent entièrement dans l'eau chaude.

Trdna biogoriva - Določevanje porazdelitve velikosti delcev peletiziranih materialov (ISO 17830:2016)

Ta mednarodni standard opisuje metodo za ugotavljanje velikosti delcev razdrobljenih peletov. Peleti se raztopijo v vodi in posušijo, nato pa se delci presejejo. Na podlagi tega je mogoče določiti velikost delcev, iz katerih so sestavljeni peleti.

Introduction
In power plants with powder fuel burners for energy production, the operators need information
about the particle size distribution of the fuel for optimising particle burnout during combustion. Fuel
preparation equipment, such as pulverizers, are used for crushing pellets into the original particle sizes
before the material was pressed into pellets. The method described in this International Standard is
intended to characterize particle size distribution of the material contained within fuel pellets and also
allows for a relative comparison of pellets of different manufacturing.
This method is based on experience with pellets made from sawdust, wood shavings and milled wood,
as well as straw. The method may also be applicable for pellets produced from other solid biofuel
materials provided that they can be dissolved into its constituents in water.
Pellets that are engineered to resist water, e.g. pellets from materials which have undergone some
thermal treatments, cannot be characterised by this method.
