1 Scope

1.1  General

This Standard covers cast iron soil pipe, fittings, and means of joining for installation in gravity-flow plumbing systems inside and outside of buildings, above and below grade.

Note: Pipe and fittings that comply with this Standard are not universally compatible with pipe and fittings manufactured in accordance with ASTM A74 and ASTM A888.

1.2  Terminology

In CSA standards, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.3  Units of measurement

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purposes of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only. All references to gallons are to US gallons.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the size distribution of particulate biofuels by the horizontally oscillating screen method. It applies to particulate uncompressed fuels with a nominal top 
size of 3,15 mm and above, e.g. wood chips, hog fuel, olive stones.

The method is intended to characterize material up to a particle size class (P) of P63. For larger P-classes and PL-classes, the characterization is mainly done by hand sorting.

NOTE The definitions and specifications of P- and PL-classes are given in ISO 17225-1, ISO 17225-4 and ISO 17225-9.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la distribution granulométrique de biocombustibles particulaires au tamis oscillant dans le plan horizontal. Il s'applique aux combustibles particulaires non comprimés de dimension supérieure nominale égale ou supérieure à 3,15 mm, tels que les plaquettes de bois, les broyats de bois, les noyaux d'olive.

La méthode a pour but de caractériser les matériaux jusqu'à la classe granulométrique (P) P63. Pour les classes P et PL supérieures, la caractérisation se fait essentiellement par tri manuel.

NOTE Les définitions et spécifications des classes P et PL sont données dans l'ISO 17225-1, l'ISO 17225-4 et l'ISO 17225-9.

This document specifies a method for determining the bulk density of solid biofuels using a standardized measuring container. This method is applicable to all pourable solid biofuels with a nominal top size of maximum 63 mm while the maximum particle length is 200 mm. For fuels with a nominal top size larger than 63 mm, a different method is described.

Bulk density is not an absolute value; therefore, conditions for its determination have to be standardized in order to gain comparative measuring results.

NOTE Bulk density of solid biofuels is subject to variation due to several factors such as vibration, shock, pressure, biodegradation, drying, and wetting. Measured bulk density can therefore deviate from actual conditions during transportation, storage, or transhipment.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour déterminer la masse volumique apparente des biocombustibles solides à l’aide d’un récipient-mesure normalisé. Cette méthode s’applique à tout biocombustible solide versable dont la dimension nominale est inférieure ou égale à 63 mm, tandis que la longueur des particules est inférieure ou égale à 200 mm. Pour les combustibles dont la dimension nominale est supérieure à 63 mm, une méthode différente est décrite.

La masse volumique apparente n’étant pas une valeur absolue, il est indispensable de normaliser les conditions de sa détermination afin d’obtenir des résultats de mesure comparatifs.

NOTE La masse volumique apparente des biocombustibles solides est soumise à des variations aux causes diverses telles que vibrations, chocs, pression, biodégradation, séchage et mouillage. La masse volumique apparente mesurée peut, par conséquent, s’écarter de celle observée en conditions réelles lors du transport, du stockage ou du transbordement.
