3. Tests to determine the mobilizable heat of combustion
In order to determine the mobilizable heat of combustion, the following sequence must be carried out:
Measurement of the gross calorific value PCS 1 (MJ/kg) of the material concerned. The density of the material ρ 1 in kg/m 3 is supplied by the test applicant.
Carrying out a test according to the standardized thermal program for 1/2 h, on a specimen of dimensions 0.30 × 0.40 (m) and thickness e 0 (m). This thickness e 0 is determined by the laboratory on the applicant's proposal. It takes into account the nature of the material and the different thicknesses used. It is chosen so...
