Calorific value
Heating value is useful only when the value, test basis and method travel together. Use as-received net calorific value for a delivered-fuel cost comparison.
Explore the guide ↗Ash & combustion
Ash content describes the residue under a specified test method. It does not, by itself, establish whether a fuel will cause slagging in your equipment.
Explore the guide ↗Moisture & handling
Specify moisture on a clear basis and agree where and when the sample is taken. A loading sample and a sample after damp storage do not describe the same condition.
Explore the guide ↗Density & volume
Bulk density relates loose material mass to the volume it occupies, including spaces between pellets. It is different from the density of an individual pellet.
Explore the guide ↗Handling quality
Mechanical durability and fines answer related but different questions. Ask for both the method and the point in the supply chain where testing took place.
