EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 18134-1 testing. ISO 18134-1 describes a method of determining the total moisture content of a test sample of solid biofuels by drying in an oven and can be used when high precision is required in determining the moisture content. The method described in this International standard is applicable to all solid biofuels. The moisture content (as taken) of solid biofuels is always reported based on the total mass (on a wet basis) of the test sample.
The term moisture content can be misleading when used with biomass materials because untreated biomass often contains varying amounts of volatile compounds (extracts) that can evaporate when determining moisture content by oven drying.
The test portion of the solid biofuel should be dried in an air atmosphere at 105°C until constant mass is achieved, and the percent moisture should be calculated from the mass loss of the test portion and include a procedure for correcting for buoyancy effects.
Drying oven that can be controlled at a temperature in the range of (105 ± 2)°C and where the air atmosphere changes three to five times per hour. The air velocity should be such that test piece particles do not escape from their trays.
The term moisture content can be misleading when used with biomass materials because untreated biomass often contains varying amounts of volatile compounds (extracts) that can evaporate when determining moisture content by oven drying.
