DIN EN 15415-3:2012-06 EN 15415-3:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This document is dedicated to outlining an optical method for characterizing the size of pie
21、ces of solid recovered fuel (SRF) that exhibit an irregular shape and are generally large in size. Typical examples are shredded end-of-life tyres or demolition woods. When such products reach the end-of-life stage, they continue to exhibit the very strong mechanical properties for which they were d
22、esigned and fabricated. For instance, tyres are designed and fabricated to withstand cutting. Therefore, it is wise to minimise shredding when producing SRF from these end-of-life products. This results in a general in production of SRF pieces exhibiting an irregular shape and large size. These SRF
23、cannot be characterised using the sieving method specified in EN 15415-1 which utilises well-known distribution curves and a series of test sieves. Consequently, the method specified in this document is an optical method based on the determination of the maximum projected length and accompanied by a
24、n appropriate statistical evaluation. This maximum projected length approach is needed for sake of testing; but it is mainly needed to facilitate the use of these solid recovered fuels. Safe transportation (e.g. with conveyer) and introduction into the combustion zone are dependent on the design and
25、 operations adapted to such maximum length. In this document, the maximum projected length determination is complemented with a characterisation of the filaments protruding from the SRF pieces (see 3.1). This document is based on CEN/TS 14243, AFNOR XP T47-753, AFNOR XP T47-756, AFNOR XP T47-757, AF
26、NOR NF X11-696:1989 and ISO 13320. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the determination of particle size distribution of solid recovered fuels using an image analysis method. It applies to both agglomerated and non-agglomerated solid, recovered, fuel pieces exhibiting an irregular shape, such
27、as shredded end-of-life tyres and demolition woods. It provides the determination of the maximum projected length as well as parameters such as equivalent diameter. It also gives a characterisation of the filaments protruding from the SRF pieces. 2 Normative references The following documents, in wh

36、g The main principle of sampling is to obtain a representative sample or representative samples from a whole lot (of defined material) from which a characteristic is to be determined. If the lot is to be represented by a sample, then it is necessary that every particle in the lot have an equal proba
37、bility of being included in the sample (i.e. probabilistic sampling). Whenever this principle cannot be applied in practice, the sampler shall define a procedure as close as possible to probabilistic sampling in their judgement (i.e. judgemental sampling) and note the limitations in the sampling pla
38、n and sampling report. In general, it is difficult to take samples in a way that satisfies the principle of correct sampling when a material is stationary (for example in a stockpile, big bag or silo). With regard to large pieces of irregular shape (e.g. pieces that include protruding filaments), it
39、 is necessary to take samples if the material is in movement. DIN EN 15415-3:2012-06 EN 15415-3:2012 (E) 7 NOTE The determination of properties other than dimensions can result in different sampling requirements. This is the case when determining physical properties such as bulk density or chemical
40、composition. 5.2 Principle of the determination of dimension A laboratory sample of at least TNP 100 separate elements not passing through the LDF sieve is taken for the test. The mass of the laboratory sample, MS, is weighed to within 0,01 kg. Any elements consisting solely of metal wires released
41、from the pieces of solid recovered fuel are not counted in the TNP pieces. They are collected and weighed together (MLM in kilograms). After passing through a LDF sieve, the mass of the fine pieces, MF, is weighed to within 0,01 kg. The pieces not passing through the sieve (without loose metal wires
42、) are used to determine the maximum lengths and constitute the test portion for determination purposes. Each piece of this test portion is treated individually. As these pieces are not usually flat, the largest length is defined as the largest length projected onto a plane on which the piece in ques
43、tion lies. This length is measured to within 5 mm without deforming the piece and excluding protruding filaments. The measurements of the different maximum projected lengths, L, are used for drawing a histogram (see Figure 1) that is a characteristic of the distribution of the pieces of the test por
44、tion, i.e. the laboratory sample without the fine pieces and without the loose metal wires. This histogram consists of the large pieces (a class larger than the HDF threshold dimension of the large pieces) and NCR = 7 classes of the same width between the LDF and HDF dimensions. Figure 1 Example of
45、a histogram The following three characteristics of the histogram are extracted from these measurements: a) the number percentage of large pieces, NPL (and optionally, the mass percentage of large pieces, MPL, corresponding to the pieces larger than the higher dimension of the HDF format where HDF is
46、 one of the characteristics of the format of the product under consideration, e.g. 350 mm); b) the mass percentage of the fine pieces, MPF = 100 MF/MS (mass percentage of the pieces passing through the sieve with a mesh of LDF where LDF is one of the characteristics of the product format under consi
47、deration, e.g. 25 mm); c) the number percentage, NPC (and optionally the mass percentage, MPC) of the pieces in the number of central classes (NCC) (2-3-4-5-6) amongst the classes NCR = 7 between the lower and higher dimensions of the format (LDF and HDF).

48、8 5.3 Principle of filaments characterisation From the method for evaluating the filaments of shredded materials, the following two parameters are determined: a) ANPF: average number per piece of filaments longer than MLF1; b) NPF: number percentage of pieces having at least one filament longer than MLF2. This evaluation is based on a measurement by image analysis as specified in the following sub-clauses which determine the filaments as filiform me
