ASTM E1755

Standard Test Method for Ash in Biomass

Applicability: ASTM E1755 is a standard test method for determining ash content in biomass. It’s specifically applicable to a range of biomass materials including hard and soft woods, herbaceous materials (like switchgrass and sericea), agricultural residues (like corn stover and wheat straw), and even certain types of wastepaper.

Purpose: ASTM E1755 is a test method that determines the ash content of biomass materials, expressed as a percentage of the original oven-dried mass. This test method is used to quantify the mineral content and other inorganic matter present in various biomass samples.
