BS EN 15414-3:2011

Solid recovered fuels. Determination of moisture content using the oven dry method. Moisture in general analysis sample | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of moisture in an analysis sample by drying the sample in an oven. This method is suitable for use for general analysis samples in accordance with CEN/TS 15414‑1. It is applicable to all solid recovered fuels.

NOTE 1 The term moisture content when used with recovered materials can be misleading since solid recovered materials e.g. biomass frequently contain varying amounts of volatile compounds (extractives) which can evaporate when determining the moisture content of the general analyses sample by oven drying.

NOTE 2 This European Standard is based on EN 14774‑3.
