This Technical Specification specifies the determination of particle size distribution of solid recovered fuels by a machine or manual sieving method. It applies to particulate agglomerated and non-agglomerated fuels, such as fluff, pellets, briquettes, pulverised solid recovered fuels.
NOTE 1 For fine particles < 1 mm (e.g. sludges), the use of other methods could give more representative results as e.g. an analysis with the laser diffraction method in accordance with ISO 13320-1 [1].
NOTE 2 This Technical Specification is based on CEN/TS 15149-1 [2] but also applicable to particle sizes less than 3,15 mm.
