Scope1.1 This test method covers a single-stage procedure for thedetermination of total moisture less t

3、han 15 % in coal reducedto 2.36- mm (No. 8 sieve) topsize. This test method is fordetermination of total moisture only. Materials subjected to thistest shall not be used in the determination of other testparameters. It is recognized that the conditions of the test canincrease the potential for signi

4、ficant oxidation effects on somecoals. If the oxidation potential is of concern, the use of thissingle-stage method shall involve prior agreement between theparties involved. This test method shall not be construed as thereferee standard test method for total moisture. For refereepurposes, users of

5、this test method are referred to Test MethodD3302 for moisture determination methods which are not assusceptible to oxidation effects.1.2 Statistical analysis of data from several sources indi-cates that at a 95% confidence level, there is statistically nosignificant difference between the mean valu

6、e of the resultsobtained by D2961 and D3302 (that is, no bias is detectedbetween the two methods at the 95% confidence level) formoisture levels between 1.4% and 15.8%. These two testmethods were not compared in this study for some ranks ofcoal including lignite and anthracite. (See 10.2.)1.3 The va

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

9、nsFor additional definitions of terms used inthis test method, refer to Terminology D121.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Moisture is determined by establishing the weight lossof the coal sample by drying in an oven with forced-aircirculation.5. Significance and Use5.1 The measurement of total moisture

10、is required to deter-mine whether coal meets commercial or environmental speci-fications, or both. Within the limitations prescribed in thescope, this test method describes a procedure for determinationof total moisture that requires less time than the proceduresdescribed in Test Method D3302.6. App

11、aratus6.1 Drying Pans, noncorrodible, stable at the temperatureused, and of such size that the sample can be spread to a depthof not more than 25 mm (1 in.).6.1.1 The pan size may be varied to suit the size of thesample and the oven. The height of the sides shall be no morethan 40 mm (112 in.) so th

12、at air is not restricted in passing overthe coal.6.2 Drying Oven, forced air-type capable of maintaining atemperature of 107 6 3C and constructed to provide for acontinuous air flow to all parts of the oven. Air changes shallbe at the rate of two to four volumes per minute.1This test method is under

Divide from the 2.36-mm(No. 8) sieve size subsample (Test Method D2013) a portionnot less than 125 g.7.2 That portion of the sample used for the mo

Distribute the sample uniformly over the pan. Donot exceed a depth of 25 mm (1 in.). Place the empty sam
