ISO 17827-1

Introducing ISO 17827-1 – Industrial Physics

ISO 17827-1 is a global ISO testing standard that’s used to determine the size distribution of particulate biofuels using the horizontally oscillating screen method. 

If you work with paper, pulp or solid particulates then you need assurance that the wood chips and materials you use are reliably sized and sorted. This ISO chip classification method enables you to measure the particle size distribution of solid biofuels for many uncompressed fuels.  

ISO 17827-1 chip classification is useful for sorting particulate uncompressed fuels such as wood chips, hog fuel or olive stones. Part one of the ISO 17827 wood chip classification testing standard relates to the horizontally oscillating screen method and uses sieves with apertures of 3.15mm and above.  

The  horizontally oscillating screen method characterizes materials up to a particle size class of P63. If you need to sort particles with a larger P-class then you’ll find that this characterization is often done by hand.  

What is the horizontally oscillating screen method?

The horizontally oscillating screen method requires a modern type of screening machine that’s normally used to sieve and treat raw materials. The purpose is to separate particles and materials of each size. 

The horizontally oscillating screen method was invented to handle high feed flow rates and offer you multiple different grading options. It’s a chip classification method that’s often used in the chemical industry, food, medicine, plastic and other industries.
