ASTM E829

Preparing Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Laboratory Samples for Analysis

Applicability: ASTM E829 covers the preparation of Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) laboratory samples for analysis, including air-drying and particle size reduction. It is applicable to various types of RDF to convert samples into a suitable form for subsequent testing.

Purpose: ASTM E829 is a standard practice for preparing Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) laboratory samples for analysis. Its purpose is to convert representative field samples into a suitable, stable, and homogeneous physical form, including air-drying and reducing particle size, ensuring consistent results for further testing, such as heating value, moisture, or chemical composition.
