Abstract

Measurement of fuelwood is done by volume or weight scaling. Evaluation determines quality in terms of moisture content, density, heating value, chemical properties and impurities. Both measurement and evaluation involve sampling. The report surveys the existing measurement and evaluation methods, sampling for moisture content, heating values and other fuel properties including nonwood materials.
