2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the dete

3、rmination of the inor-ganic residue as ash in the analysis sample of coal or coke asprepared in accordance with Practice D2013 or Practice D346.The results obtained can be applied as the ash in the proximateanalysis, Practice D3172, and in the ultimate analysis, PracticeD3176. For the determination

4、of the constituents in ash,reference is made to Test Methods D2795 and D3682. SeeTerminology D121 for definition of ash.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the

5、safety 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.

Significance and Use4.1 Ash, as determined by this test method, is the residueremaining after burning the coal and coke. Ash obtained diff

Incineration causes an expulsion of all water, theloss of carbon dioxide from carbonates, the conversion of ironpyrites into ferric oxide, and other chemical reactions. Ash, asdetermined by this test method, will differ i

11、n amount from ashproduced in furnace operations and other firing systems be-cause incineration conditions influence the chemistry andamount of the ash. References for correcting ash resultsdetermined by this test method to a mineral-matter-free basisare listed in Classification D388, Section 8.5. Ap

Temperature Calibration6.1 Place a preignited capsule with1gofsand at the centerof the working area of the furnace, and by the use of apotentiometer and thermocouple or other suitable temperaturemeasuring device, measure the temperature of the sand in thecrucible. The crucible and sand should b

There should be two to four airchanges per minute moving throughout the furnace (the airflow may be measured by using a wet-test meter or equivalentcalibrated at standard conditions for air connected to theceramic-pipe exhaust).Adjust the furnace tempera

Procedure7.1 The sample shall be the material pulverized to pass No.60 (250-mm) sieve in accordance with Practice D2013

21、 orPractice D346.7.2 Transfer approximately 1 g (weighed to the nearest 0.1mg) of the thoroughly mixed sample to a weighed capsule andcover quickly. An alternative way is to use the dried coal fromthe moisture determination in Test Method D3173. Afterremoving the covers, place the capsule containing

22、 the samplein a cold furnace and heat gradually at such a rate that thetemperature reaches 450 to 500C in 1 h.7.3 Heat coal samples so that a final temperature of 700 to750C is reached by the end of the second hour. Heat cokesamples so that a final temperature of 950C is reached by theend of the sec

Remove the capsule fromthe muffle, place the cover on the capsule, cool under condi-tions to minimize moisture pickup, and weigh.NOTE 1While the 4-h incineration interval described is sufficient withmost coals to r

If unburned carbonparticles are observed, or if duplicate results are suspect, the samplesshould be returned to the furnace for sufficient time to reach a constantweight (60.001 g). By this means,

The 4-h time limit may be reduced if the sample reaches aconstant weight at 700 to 750C in less than 4 h.NOTE 2Some samples may be encountered that contain a highamount of carbonates (calcite) or pyrites or both.
