Energy and Fuel Particle Testing Standards

Energy and Fuel Particle Testing standards cover coal, coke, biofuel, and other fuel sources. These procedures are used to determine the particle size distribution, density, composition/content, ash, moisture, impurities, and so forth. With the range of fuels and properties to be tested, standards have been developed to provide reliable testing procedures that can be trusted.
