DD CEN/TS 15401:2010CEN/TS 15401:2010 (E) 4 Introduction Bulk dens

19、ity is one of the main quality parameters of solid recovered fuels (SRF). It is needed e.g. in a sampling process (volume of sampling tools, volume primary sample), in assessing transport capacity or storage space required or energy density (MWh/m3) of SRF. Bulk density is not an absolute value, the

20、refore conditions for its determination should be standardised in order to gain comparative measuring results. This Technical Specification specifies the determination of bulk density of solid recovered fuels which can be conveyed in a continuous material flow. For practical reasons, two standard me

21、asuring containers with a volume of 5 l or 50 l are selectable for the determination. The method specified in this Technical Specification is based on EN 15103 1. 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of bulk density of solid recovered fuels using a standard m

22、easuring container. This method is applicable to all solid recovered fuels with a nominal top size of maximal 100 mm. NOTE 1 The reason for the limitation to maximal 100 mm is the practical maximum volume of a measurement container and thus dimensions of the aperture of the container. Particle dimen

23、sion should not exceed 1/3 of this value. NOTE 2 Bulk density of solid recovered fuels is subject to variation due to several impacts such as vibration, shock, pressure, biodegradation, drying and wetting. Measured bulk density can therefore deviate from practice conditions during transportation, st

24、orage or transhipment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

Bulk dens

29、ity is calculated from the net weight per standard volume and reported for the measured moisture content. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Measuring container 6.1.1 General The container shall be cylindrically shaped and manufactured of a shock resistant, smooth-surfaced material. It shall be waterproof and resistan

30、t to deformation in order to prevent any variation of shape and volume. Grips may externally be fixed for easier handling. The height-diameter-ratio shall be in the range from 1,25 to 1,50. 6.1.2 Large container with a filling volume of (50 1) l, an effective (inner) diameter of 360 mm and an effect

NOTE Preferably, the height of the scantling should be 150 mm. 6.4 Wooden board, flat, e.g. an oriented strand board (OSB), with a thickness of about 15 mm and a sufficient size for the container to be dropped onto for shock exposure. 7 Sampling and

35、 sample preparation The sample shall be taken and prepared in accordance with prEN 15442 and prEN 15443. The sample volume should exceed the measuring container volume by 30 %. NOTE Precautions should be taken to ensure that the moisture is evenly distributed within the sample. Care should be taken

36、that the moisture content remains constant. DD CEN/TS 15401:2010CEN/TS 15401:2010 (E) 7 8 Procedure 8.1 Determination of the container volume Before use, determine the mass and filling volume of the measuring container (6.1). Weigh the empty, clean and dry container on the balance. Then fill the con

37、tainer with water and a few drops of wetting agent (e.g. liquid soap) until maximum capacity; then weigh it again. The water temperature shall be in the range from 10 C to 20 C. Calculate the volume of the container from the net mass of water and the density of the water (1 000 kg/m3) and record the

38、 result rounded to the nearest 0,000 01 m3for the large container (6.1.2) or to the nearest 0,000 001 m3for the small container (6.1.3). NOTE 1 The effect of temperature on the density of water is here neglected. NOTE 2 The container volume should be checked regularly. 8.2 Container selection All fu

39、els with a nominal top size less than or equal to 100 mm may be used in the large container (6.1.2). For fuels with a nominal top size less than or equal to 12 mm and for pellets with a diameter less than or equal to 12 mm, the small container (6.1.3) may be used. The determination of the particle s

40、ize shall be performed in accordance with CEN/TS 15415. NOTE Larger container gave systematically higher values for bulk density than smaller container in tests 2. Therefore, larger container (50 l) should be used for SRF bulk density measurements, whenever possible. 8.3 Measurement procedure The me

41、asurement procedure shall be carried out as follows: a) fill the container by pouring the sample material from a height of 200 mm to 300 mm above the upper rim until a cone of maximum possible height is formed. Make sure that the container is dry and clean before being (re)filled; b) the filled cont

42、ainer is then shock exposed to allow settling. For that purpose drop it freely from 150 mm height onto a wooden board (6.4) which is lying on an even, horizontal and hard floor. Ensure that the board and the floor are in full contact. Before shock exposure, remove particles on the wooden plate withi

43、n the dropping area. Make sure that the container hits the ground in a vertical position. Repeat the shock exposure at least four times but not more often than five times. Then refill the resulting empty space in the container according to 8.3 a); NOTE In order to estimate the falling height correct

44、ly, it is useful to place the filled container on a strong scantling with a height of 150 mm (see 6.3) before moving it to the side for dropping it freely. c) remove surplus material by using a small scantling (see 6.3) which is shuffled over the edge of the container in oscillating movements. If th

45、e sample contains coarse material, remove by hand all particles preventing the free passage of the scantling. If the removal of larger particles tears bigger holes into the levelled surface, the cavities shall be refilled and the removal procedure repeated; d) weigh the container; e) unify the used

46、sample with the unused sample material and repeat the procedure as given in 8.3 a) to 8.3 d) at least once in order to get two replications; f) determine the moisture content of the sample as received in accordance with CEN/TS 15414-2 immediately after bulk density determination. NOTE Dust can occur

47、 when handling SRF materials during the bulk density determination. Therefore, the use of respiratory protective equipment and protective clothing is recommended.

48、ample as received, ar, by Equation (1): Vmm12ar= (1) The result for each individual determination shall be calculated to one decimal place, and the mean value of the individual results shall be calculated and rounded to the nearest 10 kg/m3. The mean value shall be recorded in the test report. 9.2 C

A true comparison between fuel samples is therefore only possible if bulk density is measured at similar moisture contents. The result for each individual determination shall be calculated to one decimal place, and the mean value of the individual results shall be
