DANSK DS/EN 14774-2 PDF

This European Standard describes the method of determining the total moisture content of a sample of solid biofuels by drying in an oven and may be used when the highest precision is not needed, e.g. for routine production control on site. The method described in this document is applicable to all solid biofuels. The total moisture content of biofuels is not an absolute value and conditions for its determination have to be standardised to enable comparative determinations to be made. NOTE The term moisture content, when used with biomass materials, can be misleading since untreated biomass frequently contains varying amounts of volatile compounds (extractives) which may evaporate when determining moisture content by oven drying.
