1、Designation: E870 82 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Methods forAnalysis of Wood Fuels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E870; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in
2、parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the proximate and ultimateanalysis of wood fuels and the determination of the grosscaloric value of wood fuels sampled a
