本技术信息文件中描述的程序提供了一种对生物质燃料进行取样的系统方法，以获得代表根据TIP 0416-18“使用生物质作为燃料的锅炉性能试验程序”进行的锅炉性能试验期间燃烧的燃料的样品。正如随机取样法所描述的，可以避免更大的系统误差。燃料的代表性样品用于分析，以确定燃料的最终分析、总热值和水分含量。介绍了基本取样原理及其在输送带取样、卡车取样和生物质燃料堆取样中的应用。

The Procedure described in this Technical Information Paper provides a systematic method of sampling biomass fuel to obtain a sample that is representative of the fuel to be fired during a boiler performance test conducted in accordance with TIP 0416-18 'Performance Test Procedure for Boilers Using Biomass as Fuel'. The method describes correctly performed sampling that will obtain a sample from a larger stock of fuel in such a way that(1) Systematic errors will be avoided, and(2) random errors will be equalized as much as possible.The representative sample of fuel is for the purpose of analysis to determine the ultimate analysis, gross heating value and moisture content of the fuel. Described are the fundamental sampling principles and their application to sampling from a conveyor belt, sampling from trucks, and sampling from a biomass fuel pile.
