Rationale

This test method is needed to establish a industrial hemp hurd specification standard according to hurd Particle Size Distributions, percentages of cleanliness, and color ranges into a grading or classification system for the hemp-lime insulation market. The industrial hurd market demands a range of sizes, degrees of cleanliness, and ranges of color for different application methods. The Standard will be used to improve construction quality, insulation performance, and address supply chain issues. The users will be processing plants, regulatory bodies, hemp-lime installers/insulators, builders, architects, and engineers.
