Designation:E281711Standard Test Method forTest Fueling Masonry Heaters1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2817;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the fueling and operatingprotocol for determining particulate matter emissions fromsolid fuel biomass(cordwood or other densified,binder freebiomass fuels)fires in masonry heaters.It may also be used totest other similar appliances(see 3.2.20).1.2 This test method is applicable to the operation andfueling of masonry heaters during particulate emissions mea-surement test periods.The prescribed methods and proceduresof these protocols are performed on masonry heaters installedand operated in accordance with the builder or manufacturersspecifications.1.3 In conjunction with Test Method E2515,this testmethod provides a protocol for laboratory emissions testing ofmasonry heaters that is intended to simulate actual use inresidential homes and other consumer applications.Since suchactual use involves almost solely cordwood fueling,AnnexA1,Cordwood Fuel,provides as close a simulation as is currentlypossible of consumer use,and is recommended for predictingactual consumer emissions performance.For regulatory andother potential uses in comparing relative emissions of variousmasonry heater products and designs,Annex A2,CribwoodFueling,and Annex A3,Cribwood Fuel,Top-Down Burn,provide optional additional fueling protocols that substitutedimensional lumber cribs for the cordwood fuel.Data thatestablish the relationships between the emissions results gen-erated by Annex A2 and Annex A3 and the emissions resultsgenerated by Annex A1 are not currently available.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provided for informa-tion only and are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E631 Terminology of Building ConstructionsE1602 Guide for Construction of Solid Fuel Burning Ma-sonry HeatersE2515 Test Method for Determination of Particulate MatterEmissions Collected by a Dilution Tunnel2.2 Other Standards:EN 15250 Slow Heat Release Appliances Fired By SolidFuel-Requirements And Test MethodsEN 15544 One Off Kachelgrundfen/Putzgrundfen(Tiled/Mortared Stoves):Calculation MethodNIST Monograph 175 Standard Limits of Error3US EPA Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsTerms used in this test method are definedin Terminology E631.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 ashpit loss,n the incomplete burned residue(char-coal)left with the ash after a test run is completed.3.2.2 burn rate,nthe average rate at which test-fuel isconsumed in a masonry heater during a test run.The burn rateexcludes the inorganic salts and minerals(that is,“ash”)andincompletely burned residues(charcoal)remaining at the endof a test run;measured in mass of dry wood burned per hour(kg/hour,lb/hour).3.2.3 calibration error,nthe difference between the gasconcentration displayed by a gas analyzer and the knownconcentration of the calibration gas when the calibration gas isintroduced directly to the analyzer.3.2.4 calibration(span)drift,nThe difference betweenthe expected instruments response and the actual instrumentsresponse when a calibration(span)gas is introduced to the1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 onPerformance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.54on Solid Fuel Burning Appliances.Current edition approved April 1,2011.Published August 2011.DOI:10.1520/E2817-11.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST),100Bureau Dr.,Stop 1070,Gaithersburg,MD 20899-1070,http:/www.nist.gov.4Available from United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),ArielRios Bldg.,1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,NW,Washington,DC 20004,http:/www.epa.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 analyzer after a stated period of time has elapsed during whichno maintenance,repair or adjustment has taken place:calibrationspan!drift5Sactual response2 expected response!expected responseD31003.2.5 calibration(span)g
