COAL TESTING INSTRUMENTS
BOMB CALORIMETER
Test Method:- Determines the ‘Gross Calorific Value of any solid or liquid sample by determining the water equivalent by burning 1 Gm. of Known CV sample.
Standard:- Confirmto the specification ASTM D 4809, D 240, D E711, IS -1350- 1966, BS 1016 PART 5-1967, IP 12/63 T.
Model:- Manual, Semiautomatic, Fully Automatic with Printer and with Automatic Oxygen Filling.


DROP POINT APPARATUS
The dropping point test permits use a different heating procedure: the test cell is inserted in an aluminum block oven maintained at a constant temperature that is higher than the expected dropping point of the sample. The sample temperature then rises to the dropping point without operator control.
Standards:- Conforms to ASTM D566, D4950; NF T 60-102 and related specifications Conforms to ASTM D2265 and D4950 specifications Model:- Manual, Semiautomatic, Automatic.
MOISTURE OVEN FOR COAL
Test Method:- For the determination of moisture in coal and coke by drying in an atmospheric / nitrogen atmosphere as described in BS 1016 / ASTM D 3302.
·Standard:- ASTM D3302
Model:- Digital. MOISTURE OVEN FOR COAL:- HAMCO 103 SERIES


ASH CONTENT / VOLATILE MATTER
TEST METHOD:- Ash is determined by weighing the residue remaining after burning the coal or coke under rigidly controlled conditions of sample weight, temperature, time, atmosphere, and equipment specifications.
Standard : – ASTM D 3174
