CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 17827-1, Solid biofuels - Determination of particle size distribution for uncompressed fuels - Part 1: Oscillating screen method using sieves with apertures of 3,15 mm and above, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 17827-1 (first edition, 2016-03-01).

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CAN/CSA-ISO 17827-1" throughout.

This Standard is one of two Standards developed by ISO/TC 238 on Solid Biofuels that are being adopted by CSA Group under the series Determination of particle size distribution for uncompressed fuels, which consists of the following:

a) ISO 17827-1, Part 1: Oscillating screen method using sieves with apertures of 3,15 mm and above; and

b) ISO 17827-2, Part 2: Vibrating screen method using sieves with aperture of 3,15 mm and below.

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of the size distribution of particulate biofuels by the horizontally oscillating screen method. It applies to particulate uncompressed fuels with a nominal top size of 3,15 mm and above, e.g., wood chips, hog fuel, olive stones, etc. The method is intended to characterize material up to a particle size class of P63. For larger P-classes, the characterization is mainly done by hand sorting.

Scope

This part of ISO 17827 specifies a method for the determination of the size distribution of particulate biofuels by the horizontally oscillating screen method. It applies to particulate uncompressed fuels with a nominal top size of 3,15 mm and above, e.g. wood chips, hog fuel, olive stones, etc. The method is intended to characterize material up to a particle size class of P63. For larger P-classes, the characterization is mainly done by hand sorting.
