Peat is formed by the accumulation of decaying biomass in an oxygen-deficient, humid environment. Peat is mainly composed of decaying plants and humus. For peat, the most important indicators are the degree of decay, water content, mineral (ash) content, density and calorific value. Door Coordinators are mainly made in stainless steel material, usually used for fire doors, with the function of connecting door & door frames.

Peat is formed by the accumulation of decaying biomass in an oxygen-deficient, humid environment. Peat is mainly composed of decaying plants and humus. For peat, the most important indicators are the degree of decay, water content, mineral (ash) content, density and calorific value.
Although peat comes from plant remains, it is usually not considered a renewable energy source. The carbon dioxide produced by peat combustion is included in greenhouse gases, which is no different from fossil fuels.
The degree of decay of organic biomass in peat is usually based on the linear ten-point von Post humification standard, designated H1-H10. In this scale, H1 indicates substantially no decay, while H10 indicates that organic tissue is no longer distinguishable by the naked eye.
Highly humified peat is usually used as fuel.
The main types of peat include fine peat, humus peat, peat pellets and peat briquettes.
The typical composition of fuel peat is:
· Ash content 4% to 6%;
· Dry basis fixed carbon 23% -31%;
· Dry base volatiles 65% ~ 70%;
· Received base moisture content:
1) grinding fine peat 48%;
2) humus peat 35%;
3) Peat compact 10%.
The structure and properties of peat are highly dependent on the degree of humification as shown in the following table:

Peat belongs to the humus fuel series (biomass-peat-brown coal-coal-hard coal). A comparison of these fuels shows that as the degree of humification increases, the carbon content gradually increases. This law is also reflected in the peat itself. Some peat that is not thoroughly rotted has caused trouble for its own application. Due to its high hygroscopicity, it is usually diluted by moist air, while the low bulk density and the low compressibility result in difficulties in transportation and combustion. Thus, as already mentioned, highly humified peat is generally used as a fuel.

The composition and characteristics of ash depend on the type of peat bog, the conditions of peat formation, and the quantity and characteristics of impurities.
