What is ISO 18134-3-   M oisture content in solid biofuels about?

ISO 18134-3 is a safety standard on solid biofuels .   ISO 18134-3 describes the method of determining moisture in the analysis test sample by drying in an oven. ISO 18134-3 is intended to be used for general analysis samples in accordance with EN 14780 . The method described in ISO 18134-3 is applicable to all solid biofuels. The moisture content of solid biofuels (as received) is always reported based on the total mass of the test sample (wet basis). Since biofuels in small particle size are very hygroscopic, their moisture content will change with humidity in the atmosphere and therefore, the moisture of the test portion is determined simultaneously with the determination of, for example, calorific value, carbon content, and nitrogen content. Note: The term moisture content when used with biomass materials can be misleading since ...
