Preface This is the first edition of CAN / CSA-ISO 18134-1, Solid Biofuels - Determination of Moisture Content - Oven Drying Method - Part 1: Total Moisture - Reference Method. It concerns the adoption, without modifications, of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard 18134-1 (first edition, 2015-09-01) which bears the same title.  For the sake of brevity, throughout this document, it will be called "CAN / CSA-ISO 18134-1".  This standard is one of three standards developed by the ISO Technical Committee on Solid Biofuels (ISO / TC 238), adopted by the CSA Group and forming the Determination of Moisture Content - Oven Drying Method, composed of the following standards: (a) ISO 18134-1, Part 1: Total moisture - Reference method  (b) ISO 18134-2, Part 2: total moisture - simplified method c) ISO 18134-3, Part 3: Sample moisture for general analysis This standard describes the method to be used to determine the total moisture content of a solid biofuel test sample by oven drying. It should be used when the determined moisture content has to be very precise. The method described in this standard applies to all solid biofuels. The moisture content of the solid biofuels (as received) is always indicated as a function of the total mass of the test sample (wet). Application domain This part of ISO 18134 describes the method for determining the total moisture content of a solid biofuel test sample by oven drying. This method can be used when high precision is needed. The method described in this International Standard is applicable to all solid biofuels. The moisture content of the solid biofuels (on reception) is always related to the total mass of the test sample (wet base). Note:  When used in the context of biomass materials, the term "moisture content" can be confusing, as untreated biomass often contains varying amounts of volatiles (extracts) that may evaporate during the determination. moisture content by drying in an oven (see References [2] and [3]).
