If the furnace does not recover to the startingtemperature within a maxim

17、um of 10 min, reduce the numberof samples being analyzed until recovery is achieved within 10min (see Section 9).7.

Precautions8.1 Effusion of gaseous products, including soot and varioushydrocarbons, and the increase of heat associated with the testcan make the use of a hood desirable.9.

21、ion of particles, transfer1g(6 0.05g) of an analysis sample (see Annex A1) to each crucible in therack, weigh each crucible with its contents, and cover to thenearest 0.1 mg. Place the cover on the crucible, and place insample rack.9.2 Record the furnace temperature at equilibrium (950620C).9.3 Plac

22、e the full rack of samples in the furnace, and startthe timer.9.4 Monitor the furnace temperature. Record the elapsedtime required to return to the equilibrium temperature recordedin 9.2. If the time exceeds 10 min, repeat the procedure,reducing the number of crucibles in the rack until temperaturer

23、ecovery is completed within 10 min of the introduction of thesample rack.9.5 When temperature recovery is achieved within the 10min period, record the number of crucibles in the rack. Thisnumber of crucibles shall be in the rack for all future runs (fillempty spaces in the stand with empty crucibles

24、 when neces-sary).9.6 Round the recorded elapsed time to the next higherminute. This rounded time will be the analysis time for futureruns (5 min minimum).10. Procedure10.1 Ignite the quartz crucible and cover at 950 6 20C for5 min periods to constant mass (60.5 mg). Do not cover thecrucible at this

25、 time to allow the carbon to burn off. Cool toambient temperature in a desiccator before weighing thecrucible and cover.NOTE 1Placing the empty crucibles in the inverted cover whenigniting will reduce breakage and chipping.10.2 Avoiding segregation of particles, transfer 1 g 610 mgof the analysis sa

26、mple (see Annex A1) to the crucible, weighthe crucible with its contents, and cover to the nearest 0.1 mg.Place the cover on the crucible, and place in sample rack.10.3 Set the timer for the analysis time (5 to 10 min). Placethe rack in the furnace. Start the timer.NOTE 2Place the rack in the center

27、 of the furnace. Do not allow therack to touch the walls of the furnace.10.4 After the analysis time (65 s), remove the rack fromthe furnace and immediately place on a heat sink.10.5 Weigh the crucible after it has cooled to room tem-perature and before it has been at room temperature for longerthan

28、 20 min.NOTE 3If cool down is not in a humidity controlled area, desiccationis required.11. Calculation11.1 Calculate the volatile matter of the moisture freeprepared coke as follows:Volatile matter, mass % 5 A2B!/C! 3 100 (1)where:A = weight of crucible and prepared sample prior to analy-sis, g,B =

29、 weight of crucible and prepared sample after analysis,g, andC = weight of prepared sample, g.12. Report12.1 Report to one decimal the average of duplicate deter-minations that agree within 0.5 %. When this agreement is notmet, the values are considered suspect and another duplicateset shall be run.

30、 Report the average of all results agreeingwithin 0.5 %. If the second set also fails to agree within 0.5 %,report the average of all four values.13. Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method as deter-mined by the statistical examination of the interlaboratory testresults is

31、as follows:13.2 RepeatabilityThe difference between successive re-sults obtained by the same operator with the same apparatusunder constant operating conditions on identical test materialswould, in the long run, in the normal and correct operation ofthe test method, exceed the following values only

32、one case intwenty.D 6374 99 (2009)2Repeatability 5 0.01905 3 X 1 2.826! (2)where: X is the average of two results in weight percent.13.3 ReproducibilityThe difference between two singleand independent results obtained by different operators work-ing in different laboratories on identical material wi

33、ll, in thelong run, in normal and correct operation of the test method,exceed the following values only in one case in twenty.Reproducibility 5 0.06662 3 X 1 2.826! (3)where: X is the average of two results in weight percent.13.4 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material fordetermining the b

34、ias for this test method for measuring thevolatile matter in green petroleum coke, no statement on bias isbeing made.14. Keywords14.1 analysis time; green petroleum coke; volatile matterANNEX(Mandatory Information)A1. PREPARATION OF SAMPLESA1.1 Preparation of Bulk SampleA1.1.1 The bulk sample is pre

35、pared by reducing the grosssample in such a manner as to obtain a representative bulksample.A1.1.2 The bulk sample can vary in weight from 22.7 to90.6 kg (50 to 200 lb) and will vary in top particle size from 6to 75 mm (14 to 3 in.), depending upon the particle size of thegross sample.A1.1.3 Air dry

36、 the bulk sample, if needed, so that it can beproperly ground and fed through riffles. Air dry using dryingpans 38-mm (112-in.) deep made of noncorroding metal and ofsufficient size that the sample may be spread to a depth ofapproximately 25 mm (1.0 in.). The maximum depth of thesample shall be no m

37、ore than twice the diameter of the largestparticles. The room shall be free of dust and excessive aircurrents. Avoid excessive drying time.A1.1.4 An air drying oven can be used to pass slightlyheated air over the sample. The oven is to be capable ofmaintaining a temperature of 30 to 40C. Air changes

38、 shouldbe at a rate of 1 to 4 min. Avoid over-heating and excessivedrying.A1.1.5 A drying floor can be used to dry bulk samples. Thisis a smooth clean floor in a room free from dust and excessiveair current.A1.1.6 Any modification of the above that will not overheator contaminate the bulk sample is

39、permitted.A1.1.7 After the bulk samples have been air dried, grind theentire sample to pass a 6.7 mm sieve, using a jaw crusher. Donot overgrind. Keep a maximum amount of sample as coarse aspossible.A1.2 Preparation of Analysis SampleA1.2.1 Using a riffle, split the bulk sample to obtain a 700-gport

40、ion.A1.2.2 Pass the coke through the riffle from a feed scoop,feed bucket, or riffle pan length or opening equal to the fulllength of the riffle. When using any of the above containers tofeed the riffle, spread the coke evenly in the container, raise thecontainer, and hold it with its front edge res

41、ting on the top ofthe feed trough; then slowly tilt it so that the coke flows inuniform streams through the hopper straight down the chutesinto the pans. Under no circumstances shovel the coke into theriffle or dribble the coke into the riffle from a small mouthcontainer. Make sure the riffle has a

42、chute opening of at least 2to 212 times greater than the top size particle of the coke beingriffled.A1.2.3 Grind the sample to pass a 3.35-mm (No. 6) sieveusing a roll crusher or other suitable crushing device that yieldsthe result specified in A1.2.8. Do not overgrind (see A1.2.8).A1.2.4 Using a 3.

43、35-mm sieve (No. 6), separate the coarseparticles to be crushed. This is called scalping.A1.2.5 Set the rolls far enough apart to crush only thelargest particles of the sample. Turn the roll crusher on, andpour the coarse portion of the sample very slowly through therolls. Once more scalp off the co

44、arse particles that are to beground through the roll crusher again. Close the rolls not morethan 1.5 mm (116 in.) for each pass of the scalped sample.Repeat the crushing and scalping of the sample until all of thesample has passed through the 3.35-mm sieve. Make sure allparticles are well blended an

45、d none of the sample has beendiscarded.A1.2.6 Riffle the sample to obtain two 350-g portions. Donot discard any of the sample.A1.2.7 Using a procedure analogous to A1.2.3, grind one ofthe 350-g samples in the roll crushers to pass a 0.250-mm sieve(No. 60). Do not overgrind.A1.2.8 About one half of t

46、he sample at this point shall beretained on a 0.125-mm sieve (No. 120). If this condition is notmet, go back to A1.2.5, and grind the second 350-g portion.Adjust the roll crusher in smaller increments to increase theamount of sample retained on the 0.125-mm sieve. Likewise,use large increments to de

47、crease the amount of sample on the0.125-mm sieve.A1.2.9 Recombine the 350-g sample, and dry it to constantweight at 95 to 105C. This dried sample is now ready foranalysis and can be stored in a closed container within adessicator. Samples shall be redried on the fourth day. Exces-sive heating can re

48、sult in higher volatile matter values becauseof oxidation of some cokes.D 6374 99 (2009)3ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
