18、 or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-BS EN 15210-1:2009EN 15210-1:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard aims to define the requirements and method used for testing the mechanical durability of pellets. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, er
19、ect or use machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to such pellets, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising pellets. The durability is the measure of the resistance of densified fuels towards shocks and/or abrasion as a consequence
20、of handling and transportation processes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amend
21、ments) applies.

23、s of this document, the terms and definitions given in CEN/TS 14588:2003 apply. 4 Principle The test sample is subjected to controlled shocks by collision of pellets against each other and against the walls of a specified rotating test chamber. The durability is calculated from the mass of sample re
24、maining after separation of abraded and fine broken particles. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Pellet tester The structure and dimensions of the pellets tester are shown in Figure 1 (see also informative Annex A).

This box shall be made of rigid materia
26、l with smooth and flat surfaces (e.g. stainless steel plate). The inner dimensions of the box shall be of (300 3) mm (300 3) mm (125 1,3) mm; it shall rotate at 50 rpm about an axis, which is perpendicular to and centred in the 300 mm sides. A (230 2,3) mm long baffle is affixed symmetrically to a d
27、iagonal of one 300 mm 300 mm side of the box. The baffle extends (50 1,0) mm into the box (see Figure 1) and is securely fastened to the back of the box. The edges of the baffle shall not be sharp but rounded to avoid any cutting effect. A door may be placed in any side. Projections, such as rivets
28、and screws, shall be kept to a minimum and well rounded (alternatively flathead screws may be used). 5.2 Sieve A sieve with round screen holes of 3,15 mm diameter and suitable for manual screening in accordance with ISO 3310-2.

30、ation of mechanical durability shall be taken according to CEN/TS 14778. If it is necessary divide the mass of the sample use coning and quartering method according to CEN/TS 14780. The minimum size of the sample shall be 2,5 kg. Divide the sample into four equal portions according to CEN/TS 14780.
31、Take one portion for the determination of the total moisture content according to EN 14774 Part 1 or Part 2. Weigh two of the remaining sample portions and then separate particles passing 3,15 mm sieve by hand sieving, using a sieve as described in 5.2. The sieving shall be done in a way that the fi
32、ne particles are separated but the creation of new fine particles is avoided. This is usually achieved when a sample portion of 1 kg to 1,5 kg 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 ad
33、justed to achieve the same effect. Weigh the amount of pellets retained on the sieve and calculate the initial amount of particles passing through the 3,15 mm sieve in the sample portion in weight %. NOTE Attention is drawn to the fact that rough treatment during sample reduction and screening might
34、 influence the result. 7 Procedure 7.1 General A minimum of two determinations shall be carried out on the test sample. 7.2 Tumbling procedure Take a test portion of (500 10) g. For pellets above 12 mm diameter (500 50) g is allowed. Place the test portion of the sieved pellets, weighed to the neare
35、st 0,1 g, in the tumbling box device. Tumble the sample at (50 2) rpm for 500 rotations. After this number of rotations the sample is removed and passed manually through a sieve according to 5.2. 7.3 Sieving procedure The sieving shall be done in a way that the fine particles are separated but the c
36、reation of new fine particles is avoided. This is usually achieved when the sample portion of 0,5 kg 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. The sie
37、ving has to be done completely. The sample remaining on the sieve shall be weighed. The percent of whole pellets (particles remaining on the sieve) shall be calculated. Pellet durability is defined according to Clause 8. 8 Calculation of the mechanical durability The mechanical durability of pellets
38、 shall be calculated using the following equation: Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-BS EN 15210-1:2009EN 15210-1:2009 (E) 7 100EA=mmDU(1) where DUis the mechanical
39、 durability, in %; mEis the mass of pre-sieved pellets before the tumbling treatment, in g; mAis the mass of sieved pellets after the tumbling treatment, in g. The result shall be calculated to two decimal places and the mean result shall be rounded to the nearest 0,1 % for reporting. 9 Precision an
