CSA ISO 17828:16 (R2021)

CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 17828, Solid biofuels — Determination of bulk density, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 17828 (first edition, 2015-12-15).

For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CAN/CSA-ISO 17828 throughout.

This Standard is one of many Standards developed by ISO/TC 238 on Solid Biofuels that are being adopted by CSA Group. This Standard defines a method of determining bulk density of solid biofuels by the use of a standard measuring container. This method is applicable to all pourable solid biofuels with a nominal top size of maximum 100 mm.

Bulk density is not an absolute value; therefore, conditions for its determination have to be standardized in order to gain comparative measuring results.

Note: Bulk density of solid biofuels is subject to variation due to several factors such as vibration, shock, pressure, biodegradation, drying, and wetting. Measured bulk density can therefore deviate from actual conditions during transportation, storage, or transshipment.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.
