Historical Standard: ASTM E955-88(1996) Standard Test Method for Thermal Characteristics of Refuse-Derived Fuel Macrosamples
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E955
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of moisture, noncombustibles and combustibles, and the calculation of higher heating value content of a large mass of refuse-derived fuel-three (RDF).
1.2 This test method may be applicable to any waste material, including residues from combustion, from which a representative sample can be prepared.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See Section 7 for additional hazard information.
