A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHOD FOR PROVIDING INSTANTANEOUS CALORIFIC INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH A SOLID PARTICLE FUEL EXHIBITING A HEAT VALUE CHARACTERISTIC WHICH IS A SUBSTANTIALLY LINEAR FUNCTION OF ASH CONTENT ONLY FOR A CONSTANT VALUE OF MOISTURE CONTENT COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: DIVERTING A SAMPLE FLOW OF SOLID FUEL PARTICLES FROM A CONTINUOUS PRODUCT FLOW THEREOF; REDUCING THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE SAMPLE FLOW OF SOLID PARTICLES TO A PREDETERMINED CONSTANT LEVEL; SIMULTANEOUSLY DETERMINING THE INSTANTANEOUS RATES OF PRODUCT FLOW MOVEMENT AND QUANTITIVE MOISTURE CONTENT REDUCTION MEASURING THE INSTANTANEOUS ASH CONTENT OF THE SAMPLE FLOW AT SAID CONSTANT MOISTURE LEVEL CALIBRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
