This test method of designating the size of refuse-derived fuel from its sieve analysis is applicable to the classified light fraction (RDF-3) of shredded municipal or industrial waste materials less than 0.15 m (6 in.) in size.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D34 on Waste and Subcommittee D34.03.02 on Municipal Recovery and Resuse, this test method was withdrawn in September 2009 because it is a standard procedure method which does not pertain in particular to the waste materials for which it is titled. This standard is a basic sieve analysis method and does not designate the size of RDF-3 as indicated by the title.

The purpose of this test method is to provide a means of designating the size classification of RDF-3 for use by consumers and producers of RDF-3.

1.1 This test method of designating the size of refuse-derived fuel from its sieve analysis is applicable to the classified light fraction (RDF-3) of shredded municipal or industrial waste materials less than 0.15 m (6 in.) in size.

1.2 The values stated in acceptable metric units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
