Description (English):

This document specifies a method for determining the amount of material passing through a sieve with 3,15-mm-diameter round holes. It is intended for use in all applications (e.g. laboratories, production sites, field locations) where the measurement of fines is required.

Abstract

Overview

EN ISO 5370:2023 (ISO 5370:2023) - Solid biofuels - Determination of fines content in pellets - specifies a manual sieving method to quantify the mass percentage of fines in wood and other solid biofuel pellets. The standard defines fines as material passing through a sieve with 3,15 mm round holes (per ISO 3310-2). It is intended for use in laboratories, production sites and field locations where reliable measurement of pellet fines is required.

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and principle: Manual screening of a representative test portion; determine mass of material passing the 3,15 mm sieve and express as percentage of test portion.
Sieve and template: Uses a circular sieve (recommended diameter 400 mm; acceptable range 300–450 mm) with 3,15 mm round holes compliant with ISO 3310-2. A wooden sieve template (14 ± 2 mm thick) guides consistent circular motion; template diameter is 1.4 × sieve diameter.
Apparatus and motion control: Prescribed sieving motion (rotational speed and sub-portion mass are specified for consistent results); lubricants (graphite, silicone) or roller tables may be used to aid movement of the collecting pan.
Extensions:
- Annex A - Procedure for coarse pellet fines (CPF) (3,15 mm ≤ CPF
