Solid biofuels - Determination of mechanical durability of pellets and briquettes - Part 2: Briquettes; German version EN 15210-2:2010
Feste Biobrennstoffe - Bestimmung der mechanischen Festigkeit von Pellets und Briketts - Teil 2: Briketts; Deutsche Fassung EN 15210-2:2010
Overview
This standard defines the requirements and methods used for testing the mechanical durability of briquettes. It is applicable to persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to such briquettes, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising briquettes. For the method specified, the test sample is subjected to controlled shocks by collision of briquettes against each other and against the walls of a specified rotating test chamber. The mechanical durability is calculated from the mass of the sample remaining after separation of abraded and fine broken particles. It is a measure of the resistance of densified fuels towards shocks and/or abrasion as a consequence of handling and transportation processes. The European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 335 "Solid biofuels", the secretariat of which is held by Sweden (SIS). The responsible German Committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-82 AA "Feste Biobrennstoffe" ("Solid biofuels") at NMP.
