24、s for energy production, the operators need information about the particle size distribution of the fuel for optimising particle burnout during combustion. Fuel preparation equipment, such as pulverizers, are used for crushing pellets into the original particle sizes before the material was pressed
25、into pellets. The method described in this International Standard is intended to characterize particle size distribution of the material contained within fuel pellets and also allows for a relative comparison of pellets of different manufacturing.This method is based on experience with pellets made
26、from sawdust, wood shavings and milled wood, as well as straw. The method may also be applicable for pellets produced from other solid biofuel materials provided that they can be dissolved into its constituents in water.Pellets that are engineered to resist water, e.g. pellets from materials which h
27、ave undergone some thermal treatments, cannot be characterised by this method.

28、 determine particle size distribution of disintegrated pellets. It is applicable for pellets that fully disintegrate in hot water.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

32、ter and dried in a drying cabinet or oven. The determination is performed by sieving the dried material in accordance with ISO 17827-2.5 ReagentsDeionised water.1) To be published.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17830:2016(E) ISO 2016 All rights reserved 1BS EN ISO 17830:2016ISO 17830:2016(E)6 Apparatus6
33、.1 Disintegration container, water proof container made of material such as stainless steel capable of withstanding a temperature of 100 C. The container shall be able to hold at least 2 000 ml of the deionised water and the entire test portion of pellets without spilling over during stirring.A lid
34、or a cover, e.g. aluminium foil, shall be used to cover the container during the dissolving of the pellets in water.Volume of container should be about 5 l.6.2 Electric kettle or other suitable equipment for water heating, capable of heating at least 2 000 ml of water.6.3 Drying cabinet or oven, sha
35、ll be capable of maintaining a temperature of (60 5) C with at least three air exchanges per hour. The air velocity shall be such that the test sample particles are not dislodged from the drying container(s).NOTE Higher air exchange rates will shorten the drying time.6.4 Drying containers, shall con
36、sist of non-corrodible heat-resistant material such as metal, glass or porcelain and be able to hold sufficient volume to accommodate the slurry from the disintegration container.6.5 Balance, shall be capable of reading to the nearest 0,01 g.6.6 Sieves, set of sieves described in ISO 17827-2 and lis
37、ted in Table 1 shall be considered the default sieve set. However, other sieve sets can be used based on the specific requirements as agreed upon by the interested parties such as listed in Table 2.6.7 Weighing containers, an adequate number of weighing containers are required.The weighing of the si
38、eved particle fractions can be performed either by weighing the remaining material directly on the tarred weighed sieves or by collecting and weighing the material in weighing containers.6.8 Spoon, shall be made of non-corrodible material for stirring the disintegration slurry.6.9 Mechanical sieving
39、 equipment, sieving equipment in accordance with ISO 17827-2 shall be used for determination of the particle size distribution of the disintegrated pellets and to break down agglomerates of particles formed during the drying of the slurry.Some sieving machines have adjustable parameters. The results
40、 of the sieving might differ depending on how adjustable parameters are controlled. It is therefore important, for comparative purposes, to report how the adjustable parameters have set in terms of frequency, amplitude, duration, etc. If machines have adjustable dimensionless settings, an estimate o
41、f the adjustable degree shall be recorded to the best of the ability of the operator.6.10 Flat surfaced tool, or flat brush, shall be used for stirring the dried material and for separating agglomerated particles after drying and sieving.2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 17830:2016ISO 17830:20
42、16(E)7 Sample preparationThe laboratory sample used for the determination of particle size of disintegrated pellets shall be obtained in accordance with EN 14778 and a test sample shall be extract using volume reduction methods in accordance with EN 14780. The recommended size of the test sample is
43、(300 10) g.NOTE If a larger test sample is used, the amount of water, container sizes, etc. needs to be adjusted accordingly.8 Procedure8.1 DisintegrationThe test sample of pellets shall be transferred into the disintegration container.Approximately 2 000 ml of deionised water at the temperature jus
44、t below the boiling point shall be poured over the pellets. In order to avoid chemical dissolving components of the material, the water temperature shall not be maintained when the pellets are disintegrating. The amount of water used shall be sufficient to assure that the material fully absorbs its
45、maximum capacity of water. This is indicated by the presence of free water in the disintegration container after about 30 min.For pellets with high swelling ratio, such as straw pellets, the test sample can be reduced and/or the water volume be increased.Using a spoon, the slurry shall be carefully
46、stirred from the bottom and up until particles are segregated from each other.The spoon shall be rinsed with deionised water in the container ensuring that all particles remain in the slurry.The container shall be covered with a lid to protect from contamination and to prevent evaporation of water a
47、nd left for at least 30 min or as long as is required to disintegrate the pellets. Some pellets may require longer time for full disintegration.NOTE Some pellets can take 16 h to 24 h or more to disintegrate.8.2 DryingThe disintegrated slurry shall be mixed well and transferred to an adequate number
48、 of drying containers. The disintegration container shall be rinsed carefully with deionised water and emptied into the drying containers.Dry at a temperature not exceeding 60 C in a drying cabinet or oven to reach a moisture content of between 5 w-% and 15 w-%.NOTE The moisture content can be check
49、ed by periodic weighing provided that the exact weight of the empty drying container(s) and the exact weight and moisture content of the test sample are known.8.3 Moisture conditioningAfter drying is completed, stir the dried slurry with a flat surfaced tool to break up any agglomerates of particles or crust. The drying container(s) with the dried slurry are then placed in room atmosphere for at least 2 h in order for the material to reach moisture equilibrium with the room atmosphere.The equilibrated test sample of the disinte
