Standard method of test for volatile matter in the analysis sample of coal and coke

OSTI ID:7344311
Volatile matter, exclusive of moisture vapor, in coal and coke is determined by establishing the loss in weight resulting from heating a sample under rigidly controlled conditions. The measured weight loss is corrected for moisture as determined in Method D3173 to establish the volatile matter content of the coal or coke. This determination of volatile matter may be used to establish the rank of the coal, to indicate coke yield on carbonization processes, to provide basis for purchasing or selling, or to establish burning characteristics.
