This test method establishes the standard procedure for determining the percentage of volatile matter or gaseous products, exclusive of moisture vapor, in the analysis sample released by refuse-derived fuel (RDF) under specific test conditions for predicting burning characteristics. This may apply to any waste material from which a laboratory analysis sample can be prepared. This procedure requires the use of a platinum or fused quartz crucible with closely fitting cover, and a vertical electric tube furnace. Volatile matter is determined by establishing the loss in weight resulting from heating RDF under rigidly-controlled conditions. The measured weight loss, corrected for moisture, establishes the volatile matter content.

ORDER

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the percentage of gaseous products, exclusive of moisture vapor, in the analysis sample which is released under specific conditions of the test. The knowledge of the volatile matter content assists in predicting burning characteristics of RDF.

1.2 This test method may be applicable to any waste material from which a laboratory analysis sample can be prepared.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, 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.
