Astm D5373-02

This document describes test methods for determining the carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen content of coal and coke samples through instrumental analysis. It specifies that the test methods can analyze both air-dry and moisture-free samples. For some instruments, the analysis determines total levels of the elements, while other instruments determine organic hydrogen and total other elements with moisture and hydrates removed. The test methods are applicable to meeting requirements for ultimate analysis of coal and coke.

ACTIVE STANDARD: D5373-02(2007) Standard Test Methods for Instrumental

Determination of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen in Laboratory Samples of Coal and Coke

Developed by Subcommittee: D05.21


See Related Work by this Subcommittee
Adoptions:
Book of Standards Volume: 05.06

1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the instrumental determination of carbon, hydrogen, and
nitrogen in laboratory samples of coal and coke prepared in accordance with Test Methods D
2013 and D 346.
1.2 Within the limitations outlined below, these test methods are applicable to either the air-
dry or moisture-free laboratory sample, or both.
1.2.1 For instrumental systems in which the moisture and waters of hydration in the sample
are liberated with (and only with) the oxidation products upon combustion, the analyses can
be performed on a test specimen of the air-dry sample (Note 1). Concentrations determined
on this air-dried basis represent the total carbon (including that present as carbonate), total
hydrogen (including that present as water), and total nitrogen.
Note 1—These systems are also satisfactory for determining the subject materials in the
moisture-free sample.
1.2.2 For systems in which the moisture and hydrates are otherwise liberated, the analysis
shall be performed on the moisture-free sample. Values obtained on this basis represent the
total carbon, organic hydrogen, and total nitrogen.
1.3 These test methods can be used to provide for the requirements specified in Practice D
3176 for the ultimate analysis.
1.4 The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as the standard.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety
and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Specific precautionary statements are given in 8.3.1.
