2、ion, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a relative measure of the plasticbehavior of coal when heated under prescribe

3、d conditions. Thistest method may be used to obtain semiquantitative values ofthe plastic properties of coals and blends used in carbonizationand in other situations where determination of plastic behaviorof coals is of practical importance.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unit

4、sare 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.1.3 This standard does not purport to address

5、all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

33、 and air dry it at room temperatureor at slightly elevated temperatures not exceeding 15 C27 F above room temperature, until the moisture loss is lessthan 0.1 % h. Drying should not be continued beyond thispoint so that the plastic properties of the coal are not altered byoxidation. After air drying

34、, reduce the sample by riffling to noless than 500 g 1.1 lb. Stage crush this 500 g 1.1 lb portionto pass through a 850 m (No. 20) sieve and reduce to 250 g0.55 lb by riffling. Stage crush this 250 g 0.55 lb portion topass through a 425 m (No. 40) sieve and riffle it to 125 g0.275 lb. Mix the coal a

35、nd scoop 5.0 g 0.011 lb for the test.Seal the excess prepared coal for additional test runs asrequired.

44、for individual determinations that meet the requirements of14.1.1 as follows:(a) average maximum fluidity less than 1000 DDPM,report to the nearest 1 DDPM.(b) average maximum fluidity between 1000 DDPM and10 000 DDPM, round and report to the nearest 10 DDPM.(c) average maximum fluidity between 10 00

46、tometers currently in use havethe capability to read and record the fluidity to the nearest 0.1 DDPM. Forcoals which exhibit a maximum fluidity less than 10 DDPM, and whererequired, it is acceptable to round and report the average maximumfluidity to the nearest 0.1 DDPM.13.3 If either breaking or ja

47、mming was observed, a state-ment that maximum fluidity cannot be verified due to thephenomenon should be added to the report.13.4 Example Report:13.4.1 Individual maximum fluidity results for duplicatedeterminations are found as 27 536 DDPM and 22 437 DDPM.The average of the duplicate determinations

48、 is 24 986 DDPM.Repeatability for the two determinations is 62499 DDPM ofthe average. The repeatability statement in 14.1.1 is notsatisfied. A further third determination yields a result of 25 957DDPM. The average of the first and third determinations,respectively, is 26 746 DDPM. Repeatability for

49、these twodeterminations is 62675 DDPM of the average. The repeat-ability statement is now satisfied.
