Summary of Test Method4.

9、1 This test method is based on the loss in mass of a greenpetroleum coke sample in an air atmosphere under controlledconditions of temperature, time, and air flow.4.1.1 Preparation Procedure shall be used when the petro-leum coke sample contains free water. The gross moisturesample is weighed and ai

10、r dried to equilibrate it with theatmosphere. Determination of residual moisture is that deter-mined using the Drying Oven Method. Air drying and residualmoisture losses are combined to report gross moisture.4.1.2 Drying Oven Method shall be used in routine com-mercial practice when the sample does

11、not contain free water.The sample is crushed to at least minus 25 mm (1 in.) top sievesize and divided into analytical portions of at least 500 g each.Determination of total gross moisture is calculated by summingthe results of the Drying Oven Method and the results of thePreparation Procedure.5.

A knowledge of the moisture content is important inthe purchase and sale of green petroleum coke, both of whichare conducted on a dry basis.5.2 The collection of the sample as specified for the DryingOven Method is i

Obtaining a representative sample of acoke source is compounded by the presence of free water.6. Apparatus6.1 Ovens:6.1.1 Air Drying OvenA device for pas

The oven shall be capable ofmaintaining a temperature of 10 to 15C (18 to 27F) aboveambient with a maximum oven temperature of 40C (104F)unless ambient temperature is above 40C (104F), in whichcase ambient temperature shall be used. Air changes are to beat th

18、e rate of 1 to 4/min. A typical oven is shown in Fig. 1.6.1.2 Drying Oven (for residual moisture on minus 25-mm(1.0-in.) samples sieve USAstandardforced-air type). It shallbe capable of maintaining a temperature of 105 6 5C and soconstructed that fresh air is introduced to all parts of the ovento en

19、sure the removal of moisture-laden air. Air flow shall bemaintained at sufficiently low velocity to prevent loss of fineparticles, (for example, one exchange per minute).6.2 Drying Pans:6.2.1 Pans for the gross moisture sample (PreparationProcedure) shall be noncorroding, weight-stable at temperatur

20、eused, and large enough so that the sample can be spread to adepth of not more than twice the diameter of the largestparticles, or not more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) depth for smallercoke. The pan sides shall be 50 to 75 mm (2 to 3 in.) high.6.2.2 Pans for crushed and divided sample shall be noncor-rodin

21、g, weight-stable at temperature used, and large enough sothat the sample can be spread to depth of not more than 50 mm(2 in.). The sides shall be not more than 75 mm (3 in.) high.6.3 Balances:6.3.1 Balance (Gross Sample)A balance with a minimumcapacity of 10 kg and sensitive to 1 g.6.3.2 Balance (Cr

22、ushed Sample)A balance with a mini-mum capacity of 4 or sufficient to weigh the pan, sample, andcontainer and sensitive to 0.1 g.6.4 Laboratory Sample ContainersNoncorroding canswith airtight, friction top or screw top sealed with a rubbergasket and pressure-sensitive tape for use in storage andtran

23、sport of the laboratory sample. Glass containers, sealedwith rubber gaskets, can be used, but care must be taken toavoid breakage in transport.6.5 SievesMeeting Specification E11.7. Sampling7.1 The principles, terms, and procedures as set forth inPractice D2234/D2234M shall apply to the collection o

24、f thetotal moisture sample. Particular attention is directed to thesection on Sampling Coal for Total Gross Moisture Determi-nation.7.2 Proceed with determination of moisture without unnec-essary delay to minimize the loss (or gain) of moisture to air orthe walls of the sample container. Visible con

25、densation on thewalls of the sample container indicates a moisture loss by thesample. Determine the moisture on the gross sample andinclude the sample container in the drying process adding theweight loss of the container to G (mass of sample) to determinethe total moisture.8. Procedure8.1 Preparati

26、on ProcedureWhen the sample contains freemoisture, a conditioning step is needed before determininggross moisture. If the sample does not contain free water, go to8.2.8.1.1 Distribute the required number of increments of thegross moisture sample in a series of preweighed pans. Thesample is spread to

27、 a depth of not more than 50 mm (2 in.) ortwice the diameter of the largest particle for cokes smaller than25 mm (1.0 in.).8.1.2 Weigh each pan with sample as it is filled from thegross sample and record the weights. Place each in an airdrying oven that has been adjusted to maintain temperature nomo

28、re than 15C (27F) above ambient to a maximum of 40C(104F). Maintain air circulation through oven at a rate of atleast one air exchange per minute, but in no case is it to be sohigh as to blow fine particles from the pans. Gently stir thesample occasionally to ensure uniform drying.FIG. 1 Air Drying

29、OvenD4931 06 (2011)28.1.3 When the coke surfaces appear dry, remove thesample pans from the oven, cool to ambient, weigh, and recordmass to the nearest gram. Return the pans with sample to theoven and repeat the drying and weighing at two hour intervalsuntil the weight loss is less than 0.1%/ h.8.1.

30、4 Allow the sample to reach equilibrium with ambienttemperature and humidity before the final air dry weight isrecorded. Avoid excess drying. Calculate the air dry moistureloss as shown in Step 9.1.1.8.1.5 Proceed with sample reduction to at least 25 mm (1in.) and division into minimum 500 g lots in

31、 accordance withthe procedures listed in Practice D2013. Use enclosed equip-ment where possible to minimize moisture change.8.1.6 The crushed and divided sample, 500 g minimum shallremain in an airtight container with minimum unused volumeuntil starting the determination for Residual Moisture onPrep

32、ared Sample.8.2 Residual Moisture on Prepared Sample (Drying OvenMethod):8.2.1 Determine and record the mass of the drying pan andsample container. Transfer the crushed and weighed sample,including sample container and pan, to an oven maintained at105 6 5C. Dry sample to a constant weight (see Note

33、1).NOTE 1Time required to achieve constant weight is estimated to beapproximately 1 h per 100 g of sample. However, do not assume5hissufficient to dry a 500 g sample to constant weight.9. Calculation9.1 Total Moisture:9.1.1 Calculate air dry losses (ADL) as follows:ADL 5 L2 2 L1!/G 3 100 (1)where:AD

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionThe precision of to

37、tal moisture as deter-mined in 9.1.3 by the statistical examination of the interlabo-ratory test results is as follows:10.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between successiveresults obtained by the same operator with the same apparatusunder constant operating conditions on identical test materialswoul

38、d, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation ofthe test method, exceed the following values only one case intwenty.Repeatability 5 0.34% (5)10.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent results obtained by different operators work-ing in different laboratories on

39、identical material would, in thelong run, exceed the following values only in one case intwenty.Reproducibility 5 0.58 % (6)NOTE 2The values in the statements were determined in a cooperativeprogram following RR:D02-1007.310.2 The precision for ADL moisture as determined by Step8.1 was not determine

40、d in this program. It is believed that therewould be no difference in the precision.10.3 The interlaboratory program included six duplicatepetroleum coke samples with nine laboratories participating.10.4 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material fordetermining the bias for this test method f
