CAN/CSA-ISO 23343-1:22 PDF

CSA Preface 

This is the first edition of CSA ISO 23343-1, Solid biofuels - Determination of water sorption and its effect on durability of thermally treated biomass fuels - Part 1: Pellets, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 23343-1 (first edition, 2021-04). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA ISO 23343-1" throughout. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 

Scope 

This document specifies a method for the determination of water sorption in a laboratory setting and provides a measure for how the durability is impacted as a result of immersion in water. Post-immersion durability reduction is calculated as the difference between the durability of the as-received sample and the durability of the wetted product.
