5.2 Determination of weight percent of a certain screen tray
5.2.1 Mechanical sieve shaker
The mechanical sieve shakers are set in 5 layers, all sieves are of the same mesh shape, the overall appearance of the sieve is also round, and the sieve mesh diameters of each sieve from top to bottom are usually 4.8mm, 9.5mm, 22.2mm, 28.6mm and 31.8mm respectively. The distance between the uppermost sieve and the uppermost edge of the sieve sleeve is 100mm, and that between two neighboring sieves is also 100mm. The sieve sleeve fixes all the sieves and is driven as a whole by mechanical force to carry out nearly circular rotary motion with vibration frequency of ≥ 220times/min, impact frequency of ≥ 147times/min, and vibration amplitude of 8mm.
5.2.2 Determination method
Weigh 1,000g of wood chips from the randomly taken specimens with a balance or an electronic scale, put them on the first layer screen of the mechanical sieve shaker, shake for 7min±10s, and then weigh the mass of fines remaining on each screen tray and passing through the bottom screen respectively, accurate to 0.01g, and the weight percent of a certain screen tray is calculated using Equation (1):
(1)
where,
Xn——the weight percent of a certain screen tray, %;
n——the screen tray (n=1, 2, 3, 4 …);
m——the mass of the specimen, g;
mn——the mass of wood chips remaining on a certain screen tray, g.
5.3 Determination of bark content
Weigh 1,000g of wood chips from the specimens with a balance or an electronic scale, and weigh the bark picked from the weighed wood chips, accurate to 0.01g. The bark contents are calculated using Equation (2):
(2)
where,
Xp——the bark content, %;
m——the mass of the specimen, g;
mp——the mass of the bark, g.
5.4 Determination of rotted chip content
Using the specimens with the bark content determined (the mass is still calculated in 1,000g), pick out and weigh the rotted chips, accurate to 0.01g. The rotted chip contents are calculated using Equation (3):
