BS EN ISO 17828:2025 - TC

This standard BS EN ISO 17828:2025 - TC Tracked Changes. Solid biofuels. Determination of bulk density is classified in these ICS categories:

• 75.160.40 Biofuels
• 27.190 Biological sources and alternative sources of energy

This document specifies a method for determining the bulk density of solid biofuels using a standardized measuring container. This method is applicable to all pourable solid biofuels with a nominal top size of maximum 63 mm while the maximum particle length is 200 mm. For fuels with a nominal top size larger than 63 mm, a different method is described. Bulk density is not an absolute value; therefore, conditions for its determination have to be standardized in order to gain comparative measuring results. NOTE            Bulk density of solid biofuels is subject to variation due to several factors such as vibration, shock, pressure, biodegradation, drying, and wetting. Measured bulk density can therefore deviate from actual conditions during transportation, storage, or transhipment.
