Summary of Test Method3.1 A test portion of the tar or pitch is heated for a specifiedtime at 550 6 10C in an electric furnace. The percentage ofresidue is reported as the coking value.4. Signif

7、icance and Use4.1 This test method is useful for indicating the relativecoke-forming propensities 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

8、, tall form, 30 mL capacity, height of37 mm and diameter 43 mm, with lids of the overlapping type.5.2 Nickel Crucible, 100 to 130 mL capacity, height of 64mm and diameter of 60 mm, with lids.5.3 Wire SupportStainless steel wire support, fitting intothe nickel crucible, used to keep the porcelain cru

This support shall allowa separation of 10 6 1 mm between the bases of the twocrucibles (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

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

15、rtion.8.2 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 whenfoa

16、m subsides.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 (ifc

17、rystals are 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 worki

18、ng specimen 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

19、will pass 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 tempe

20、rature must 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 conta

21、iners. Discard 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 1

22、0C, for 2 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 10 6 1mm thick on the base of the cruc

23、ible with the petroleum coke.Place the porcelain crucible containing the test portion in thewire support so that it sits on the bed of petroleum coke. Coverthe porcelain crucible with its lid and completely fill the spacebetween the two crucibles with the petroleum coke so that theporcelain crucible

24、 is completely embedded. Take care to avoidcontamination of the sample by the coke. Cover the nickelcrucible 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 losses.

25、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 and all

26、ow 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 nearest

27、 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, andB =

28、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 Repeatabilit

29、yDuplicate 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 considered sus

30、pect 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.
