20、iameter outside the specification can cause problems with transportation in screw conveyors and silo outlets. According to EN 14961-1, EN 14961-2 and FprEN 14961-6 measurements of length and diameter of pellets need to be performed. This document describes the measuring procedure. Copyright European

Concer

22、ning the pellet length methods for both determination of the share of oversized pellets and for determination of the average length are included It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to fuel pelle

23、ts, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising fuel pellets. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

26、 using a caliper. The length of a pellet is always measured along the axis of the cylinder (Figures 1 and 2). The diameter is measured perpendicular to the axis.

28、th and diameter. 5.2 Sample reduction equipment If sample reduction equipment is used it shall be chosen in accordance with the requirements as specified in EN 14780. 5.3 Balance The balance shall have a resolution of at least 0,01 g. 6 Sample preparation The sample used for the measurement of lengt

29、h and diameter shall be taken according to EN 14778. From this sample a test portion is extracted by division according to EN 14780. The test portion sizes shall be selected from Table 1. Table 1 Test portion size Pellet diameter Portion size 6 mm 60 g to 80 g 6 mm to 8 mm 80 g to 100 g 8 mm to 10 m

30、m 100 g to 150 g 10 mm to 12 mm 150 g to 200 g 12 mm to 25 mm 200 g to 600 g (minimum 50 pellets) The test portion is sieved by hand using a sieve with hole diameters of 3,15 mm as described in EN 15210-1. The sieving procedure in EN 15210-1 shall be followed. Copyright European Committee for Standa

This is u

32、sually achieved when the test portion is shaken in about five to ten circular movements on a sieve of 40 cm diameter. If other equipment is used, the procedure and the test portion size can be adjusted to achieve the same effect. NOTE Attention is drawn to the fact that rough treatment during sample

33、 reduction and screening might influence the result. 7 Procedure 7.1 General The procedure is divided into two parts; A and B. Procedure A describes the method to determine the share of oversized pellets in compliance with quality requirements. Procedure B describes the method to determine the avera

34、ge length of pellets. Depending on the desired parameter, either both or only one of the two procedures is applied. 7.2 Procedure A: Determination of share of oversized pellets 7.2.1 Weighing Determine the mass of the test portion by weighing. 7.2.2 Sorting by length Pellets with a length greater th

35、an the requirement are separated from the test portion by hand. Any measurement required may be made by the use of a caliper as shown in Figure 2. NOTE Depending on the quality requirements there may be more than one pellet length to be considered in sorting. 7.2.3 Weighing of the fractions Weigh th

36、e separated fraction(s) to the nearest 0,01 g and record the result. 7.2.4 Measuring of pellet diameter In order to determine the diameter class, select a minimum number of 10 pellets randomly from the test portion and determine each pellet diameter by use of the caliper. Record each result. 7.3 Pro

37、cedure B: Determination of the average length of pellets 7.3.1 Measuring of individual pellet length The total length of each pellet of the test portion is measured by using a caliper as shown in Figure 2. The result from each determination is recorded. NOTE If the tests according to procedure A (7.

38、2) have also been performed, the same test portion can be used for the determination according to procedure B.

Record each result. 8 Calculations 8.1 Share of oversized pellets Calculate the

40、ratio of the mass of each class of oversized pellets as separated according to 7.2.2 towards the total mass of the test portion as determined in 7.2.1. Express the calculated ratio or several ratios in percent to the nearest 0,1 %. Calculate the mean value of the recorded pellet diameters as determi

41、ned in 7.2.4 and express the result to the nearest 0,1 mm. 8.2 Average length of pellets Calculate the mean value of the recorded pellet lengths as determined in 7.3 and express the result to the nearest 0,1 mm. Calculate the mean value of the recorded pellet diameters as determined in 7.3.2 and exp

42、ress the result to the nearest 0,1 mm. 9 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: identification of the laboratory and the testing date; identification of the product or sample tested (see EN 14780); and same for the following; a reference to this document; any d

43、eviation from this document; conditions and observations, e.g. unusual occurrences during the test procedure, which may affect the result; the results of the calculated mean pellet diameter; for procedure A: Calculated weight percentage of the class(es) of oversized pellets; for procedure B: Calcula

44、ted average length of pellets. 10 Precision and bias Due to the unavailability of test results for repeatability and reproducibility, no precision data can be given for the present method.
