6、mary of Test Method3.1 A test portion of the tar or pitch is heated for a specifiedtime at 1022 6 18F (550 6 10C) in an electric furnace. Thepercentage of residue is reported as the coking value.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is useful for indicating the relativecoke-forming propensitie

7、s and for evaluating and characteriz-ing tars and pitches. The test method can also be used as oneelement in establishing the uniformity of shipments or sourcesof supply.5. Apparatus5.1 Porcelain Crucible, tall form, 30 mL capacity, height of112 in. and diameter of 134 in. (37 mm and diameter 43 mm)

8、,with lids of the overlapping type.5.2 Nickel Crucible, 100 to 130 mL capacity, height of 212in. and diameter of 213 in. (64 mm and diameter 60 mm), withlids.5.3 Wire SupportStainless steel wire support, fitting intothe nickel crucible, used to keep the porcelain crucible (5.1)inplace within the nic

9、kel crucible (5.2). This support shall allowa separation of25 in. 6125 in. (10 6 1 mm) between the basesof the two crucibles (see Fig. 1).5.4 Crucible TrayA suitable crucible tray to support thenickel crucibles should be made so that there is at least 7 mmof space between the bottom of the crucible

10、and the base of thefurnace.5.5 Electric Furnace, capable of being controlled at 1022 618F (550 6 10C).5.6 Sieves1 mm (U.S. Standard No. 18), 300-m (U.S.Standard No. 50) and 212m (U.S. Standard No. 70), con-forming to Specification E11.6.

Dehydration of Sample8.1 Hard PitchIf the solid bulk sample contains freewater, air-dry a representative portion.8.2

15、 Soft PitchIf the presence of water is indicated bysurface foam on heating, maintain a representative portion ofthe bulk sample at a temperature between 125 and 150C in anopen container until the surface is free from foam. Take carenot to overheat, and remove heat source immediately whenfoam subside

16、s.8.3 TarDehydrate a representative portion of the bulksample at atmospheric pressure using a simple side-armdistillation apparatus similar to the one in Test Method D 850and stop the distillation when the temperature reaches 170C.Separate any oil from the water that has distilled over (ifcrystals a

17、re present, warm sufficiently to ensure their solution),and thoroughly mix the oil with the residual tar in the still afterthe latter has cooled to a moderate temperature.9. Preparation of Working Specimen9.1 Hard PitchIf the pitch can be crushed at roomtemperature, prepare a 20 6 1 g working specim

18、en by suitablecrushing, mixing, and quartering of a representative portion ofthe dry specimen. The crushing can be performed with a smalljaw crusher and a mortar and pestle. No particle in therepresentative specimen should be larger than 5 mm in anydimension. Crush this specimen so that it will pass

19、 a 300 m(U.S. Standard No. 50) mesh sieve. If the ambient temperatureis high, the operation can be facilitated by chilling the samplebeforehand.9.2 Soft Pitch and TarFor soft pitch and tar samples, meltthe sample and take a sufficient amount of the molten mass forthe test. The melting temperature mu

20、st not exceed 150C andthe melting period not longer than 10 min. It is also possible totransfer the required portion of a soft pitch directly to theporcelain crucible, without preliminary treatment.9.3 Preservation of SamplesStore samples as large lumpsor as solidified melts in closed containers. Di

21、scard workingsamples 24 h after crushing and sieving as changes in compo-sition sometimes occur in pulverized pitch.10. Procedure10.1 For greater accuracy, carry out the determination induplicate.10.2 Heat a clean porcelain crucible with its lid in theelectric furnace, controlled at 550 6 10C, for 2

22、 h. Aftercooling to ambient temperature in a desiccator, weigh to thenearest 1 mg.10.3 Weigh into the crucible, to the nearest 1 mg, arepresentative portion of 1 6 0.05 g of the test specimen. Placethe wire support in the nickel crucible and make a bed 0.4 60.04 in. (10 6 1 mm) thick on the base of

23、the crucible with thepetroleum coke. Place the porcelain crucible containing the testportion in the wire support so that it sits on the bed ofpetroleum coke. Cover the porcelain crucible with its lid andcompletely fill the space between the two crucibles with thepetroleum coke so that the porcelain

24、crucible is completelyembedded. Take care to avoid contamination of the sample bythe coke. Cover the nickel crucible with its lid.10.4 Place the prepared crucible on the crucible support andplace the whole in the electric furnace controlled at 550 610C, as quickly as possible, in order to avoid heat

25、 losses.10.4.1 There should be a space of not less than 7 mmbetween the nickel crucible and the floor, walls, and roof of thefurnace. The space between the crucible and the door, and theback wall of the furnace should not be less than 5 cm.10.5 After 2.5 h, remove the nickel crucible from thefurnace

26、 and allow to cool for 5 to 10 min. Lift the porcelaincrucible out of the coke by means of the wire support, brushand wipe free from adhering coke powder, taking care to avoidcontamination. Place the crucible and contents, covered, in adesiccator and allow to cool to ambient temperature. Weigh tothe

27、 nearest 1 mg.NOTE 1To clean the porcelain crucibles and lids, discard the residuesand burn off carbonaceous matter by igniting at 700 to 1000C in anelectric furnace.11. Calculation11.1 Calculate the coking value of the sample as follows:Coking value, mass % 5 100A/B (1)where:A = mass of residue, g,

28、 andB = mass of sample, g.11.1.1 If the determination was carried in duplicate, reportthe mean value.12. Report12.1 Report the coking value to the nearest 0.1 mass %.13. Precision and Bias13.1 The following criteria shall be used for judging theacceptability of results (95 % probability).13.1.1 Repe

29、atabilityDuplicate values by the same opera-tor shall not be considered suspect unless the determinedpercentages differ by more than 1.2 % absolute.13.1.2 ReproducibilityThe values reported by each of twolaboratories, representing the arithmetic average of duplicatedetermination, shall not be consid

30、ered suspect unless thereported percentages differ by more than 2.3 % absolute.13.2 BiasCoking values by this test method are about 2percentage points higher than those obtained by Test MethodD 2416.14.
