Fuel properties
The test fuel was Birch wood split and cut according to the manufacturer’ written instructions and
compliant with the provisions of E3053, clause 8.4
The specific gravity of 0,65 dry weight to dry volume ratio was taken from E3053 Fig 2 page 6.
Similarly, the gross calorific value of 20,12 MJ/kg or 8.656 Btu/lb was taken from E3053 Annex A1,
table A.1.1 page 17.
The length of the wood logs was 18 cm. The basic shape of the wood logs was approximated
triangular, trapezoidal or rhombic respecting the minor to major ratio > 40% according to figures
1A and 1B of E3053
The composition of the HF and LF/MF fuel batches were calculated using the standard XLS Wood
calculator adjunct to ASTM E3053-15
The nominal mass of the HF fuel load was 2,291 kg or 5,050 lb
The nominal HF mass range was 2,20-2,40 kg or 4,80-5,30 lb
The allowable mass range of the HF Core load was 1,00-1,50 kg or 2,30-3,30 lb
The allowable mass range of the HF Remainder load was 0,80-1,30 kg or 1,80-2,80 lb
The nominal mass of the LF/MF fuel load was 2,749 kg or 6,060 lb
The nominal LF/MF mass range was 2,61-2,89 kg or 5,76-6,36 lb
The allowable mass range of the LF/MF Core load was 1,24-1,79 kg or 2,73-3,94 lb
The allowable mass range of the LF/MF Remainder load was 0,96-1,51 kg or 2,12-3,33 lb
For all test fuel loads, only 5 logs were used; 3 core and 2 remainder.
