A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThis test method is structured into

3、the following parts:The body of the test method discusses the scope, referenced documents, significance and use,apparatus, gross samples, preparation of test samples, procedure, calculation and report, precision andbias, and keywords.Annex A1 contains the method to obtain and prepare coal feedstock

4、for potential use as HGI RMs(reference materials).Annex A2 contains the method to divide and containerize the candidate HGI RMs (candidate HGIRMs) from the feedstock prepared in Annex A1.AnnexA3 contains the method for homogeneity testing of the candidate HGI RMs containerized inAnnex A2.Annex A4 co

5、ntains the method for determining the Hardgrove grindability index (HGI) to beassigned to each lot of the candidate HGI RMs.Annex A5 contains the method used to calibrate a Hardgrove grindability machine using theprimary or secondary HGI RMs.Annex A6 contains the method for determining the moisture

6、content of the 1.18 0.60 mm (No.16 30) test sample.1. Scope1.1 This test method2covers the determination of therelative grindability or ease of pulverization of coals incomparison with coals chosen as standards. A prepared andsized sample receives a definite amount of grinding energy ina miniature p

7、ulverizer, and the size consist of the pulverizedproduct is determined by sieving. The resultant size consist isused to produce an index relative to the ease of grindingHardgrove Grindability Index (HGI).1.1.1 Some coals, such as some high-volatile bituminous,subbituminous, and lignite coals, can un

8、dergo physical changeas the natural or seam moisture is released during handling andpreparation. This change is often sufficient to alter the grind-ability characteristics that will be reported when tested in thelaboratory and could produce different indices dependent onthe conditions of drying and

9、the moisture level of the 1.18 0.60 mm (No. 16 30) (see Test Method D4749) materialsused for the test. Therefore, the repeatability and reproducibil-ity cited in this test method may not apply for these high-volatile bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite coals.1.2 The values stated in either SI uni

10、ts or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1This test method is unde

The oven shall be capable of maintaining atemperature of 10 to 15 C 18 to 27 F above room tempera-ture wi

20、th a maximum oven temperature of 40 C 104 Funless ambient temperature is above 40 C, in which caseambient temperature shall be used. In the case of easilyoxidized coals, the temperature shall not be over 10 C 18 Fabove room temperature unless ambient temperature is above37 C 100 F in which case ambi

21、ent temperature shall beused. Air changes shall be at the rate of 1 to 4 air volumes ofoven capacity per minute.4.2 Drying Pans for air-drying the 1000 g, 4.75 mm (No. 4)sampleDrying pans of sufficient size so that the sample maybe spread to a depth of not more than 25 mm 1.0 in. withsides not more

22、than 38 mm 1.5 in. high. The pans shall benonreactive with coal and unaffected by the method of airdrying selected.4.3 Balance for weighing the 1000-g sample before andafter air-drying and the sieve fractions formed during stage-crushingWith a sensitivity of at least 0.5 g in 1000 g andsufficient ca

23、pacity to weigh a sample with a mass of greaterthan or equal to 1000g along with the drying pan.4.4 Balance for weighing the 50-g test sample and the sievefractions formed during millingWith a sensitivity of at least10 mg and a minimum capacity of 800 g.NOTE 1A single balance meeting the specificati

24、ons of 4.3 and 4.4 ispermitted.4.5 Calibration WeightsThese calibration weights shall beused periodically to monitor the response of each balance overthe working range.4.6 Sample DividerAn enclosed riffle divider with feedchute as described in Practice D2013 or a rotary sampledivider, which has been

25、 proven to be free of significant bias,may be used.4.7 Standard SievesA working set of circular, standardtesting sieves, which are 200 mm 8 in. in diameter andconform to Specification E11 or ISO 3310-1, series R 40/3, arerequired in the following sizes, together with cover and catchpan (receiver):TA

Standard Sieve Series Des-ignation16.0 mm58 in.4.75 mm No. 42.36 mm No. 81.18 mm No. 16600 m No. 3075 m No. 2004.7.1 These working sieves must be periodically inspectedfor wear or damage. Any excessively worn or damaged sieves(for example,

27、 sieves with holes, tears, cracks; etc.) must bereplaced immediately, and the HGI calibration procedure mustbe repeated after the damaged sieves are replaced (see AnnexA5). Since the HGI depends upon the sieve analysis and sincethe 75-m (No. 200) sieve is fragile, it is recommended that atleast one

28、set of working sieves be obtained, identified, and usedexclusively for HGI determinations and that only this exclusiveset of sieves be used for determining HGI.4.7.1.1 Excessive wear may be indicated by poor repeatabil-ity or by failure of quality control checks (A5.4.1.1) to agreereasonably with th

29、e initial calibration data.4.7.2 Normal wear on sieves is compensated by the use ofprimary HGI standard reference samples (HGI RMs) andproper calibration of equipment; excessive wear (such as holesor tears in the sieve cloth, and so forth) is not compensated byHGI RMs. Because excessive wear is unac

30、ceptable, inspectsieves carefully before each test to ensure the absence ofexcessive wear. For the 75- and 600-m (No. 200 and 30)sieves, use only a soft-bristled brush (such as short-bristledcamel hair) for brushing and cleaning.3For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, o

For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information, refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.D409/D409M 1624.7.2.1 It is good practice to keep a separate primary 75-m(No. 200) check sieve to be used only to check the 75-m (No

32、.200) working sieves described in 4.7.1 whenever the workingsieve becomes suspect. This check is done by running acomparative HGI test between the two 75-m (No. 200) sieves.Use of the working sieve for HGIs should be discontinued ifHGI difference between the sieves is greater than 1 HGI unit.4.8 Pla

33、te Mill CrusherA laboratory plate mill capable ofreducing 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve size coal particles with theproduction of a minimum of minus 0.60-mm (minus No. 30)sieve size material. The crusher plates shall be serrated andabout 100 mm 4 in. in diameter. The distance between theplates shall be adju

34、stable, and the relative speed of rotation ofthe plates shall not exceed 200 r/min.4.8.1 Evidence from HGI standard reference sample user-response forms (A5.4.4) indicates that the median value of% Yield (8.3) of the 4.75-mm (No. 4) material as 1.18 0.60 mm (No. 16 30) material, regardless of the HG

35、I level, isabout 55 %. Use this median value to gage the effectiveness/efficiency of the stage-crusher and of the stage-crushingprocess, while noting that, in some situations, the % Yield hasbeen as low as 45%.4.8.2 The most frequently used plate mill can be equippedwith “fine” or “coarse” plates. O

36、ne independent study4hasfound evidence of differences in percent recovery resultingfrom use of different types of plate. In order to obtain themaximum % Yield, only the coarse plate should be used inpreparation of both HGI calibration standards and unknownsamples.4.9 Mechanical Sieving MachineThe me

37、chanical sievingmachine shall accept an assembly of vertically nested circularsieves of 200 mm 8 in. in diameter, together with cover andreceiver. The machine shall simulate the motions given testingsieves during hand sieving by imparting a horizontal oscilla-tory motion of approximately 28-mm 1.1-i

38、n. amplitude at arate of approximately 300 oscillations or cycles per minute(cpm). Simultaneously, the top of the oscillating assembly isstruck at a rate of approximately 150 blows per minute by amass of 1.9 kg 4.2 lb moving through a vertical distance ofapproximately 28 mm 1.1 in. under the influen

39、ce of gravity.4.9.1 Whenever a mechanical sieving machine other thanthe reference machine described above is used, the methodmay be shown to be equivalent by one of two methods (1) sidex side equivalency testing of the alternative machine vs. thereference machine (with both calibration and test samp

40、les thatcover the working range), using the equivalency testing statis-tical technique of D6708 or (2) acceptable performance in anappropriate proficiency test program that covers the workingrange and that is accredited to ISO 17043.4.9.1.1 “Acceptable” performance shall be defined by theproficiency

41、 test provider.4.10 Grindability MachineThe Hardgrove GrindabilityMachine such as is shown in Fig. 1 is required for this test.Essential tolerances and specifications are shown in Fig. 2. Thegrindability machine includes a stationary grinding bowl ofpolished cast iron, with a circular horizontal tra

42、ck that holdseight polished steel balls, each 25.40 6 0.13 mm 1.000 60.005 in. in diameter. The balls are driven by an uppergrinding ring which is rotated at 20 6 1 r/min by means of theupper spindle and which, in turn, is driven by an electric motorthrough reduction gears or, in newer models, belts

43、. Weights areadded to the driving spindle so that the total vertical force onthe balls as a result of the weights, shaft, top grinding ring, andgear is equal to 29.0 6 0.2 kg 64 6 0.5 lb. The machine isequipped with a counter and automatic device, which can beproperly adjusted for stopping the machi

44、ne after 60 6 0.25revolutions.4.10.1 It is good laboratory practice to have the dimensionsand the tolerances components that are subject to wear verifiedon a periodic basis.4.10.2 The position of the counter trip mechanism beforeand after the test must be used to determine the number ofrevolutions c

45、ompleted. With some machines, it may be neces-sary to position strategically the counter trip mechanism at thebeginning of the test to accomplish the desired number ofrevolutions (that is, during a set-up period, watch where the tripmechanism is initially, count the number of revolutions fromthe poi

46、nt of origin, determine where the trip mechanism is atthe end of the test, and determine if the specified 60 6 0.25revolutions are obtained. If not, adjust the position of the tripmechanism at the beginning of the test until the specifiednumber of revolutions are obtained). Periodically, verify that

47、the machine is operated to obtain the specified number ofrevolutions per test.5. Gross Samples5.1 Collect a gross sample of coal, representative of thematerial from which it is taken. The sample may be collected,in accordance with Practice D2234/D2234M, D6883, D6609,or D7430; or ISO 13909 or 18283 (

48、or equivalent otherinternational or national standard), and prepared in accordancewith Practice D2013; or ISO 13909 or 18283 (or equivalentother international or national standard) except that the sampletopsize shall not be reduced beyond the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieveand the sample shall have a mass of

49、at least 1000 g.5.2 If the topsize of the final sample product produced frommechanical sampling system is smaller than 4.75mm (No. 4),the sample does not meet the requirements of this testprocedure.6. Preparation of Test Samples6.1 Prepare a 1.18 0.60 mm (No. 16 30) test sample forestablishing the HGI of HGI RMs (Annex A4), for calibration(Annex A5), or for routine determination of HGI.6.2 When necessary, divide the quantity of 4.75-mm (No. 4)sieve size coal to not less than 1000-g lots using an enc
