ASTM D4208 – Standard Test Method for Total Chlorine in Coal by the Oxygen Vessel Combustion/Ion Selective Electrode Method
Description:
Significance and Use
5.1 The purpose of this test method is to measure the total chlorine content of coal. The chlorine content of coals may be useful in the evaluation of slagging problems, corrosion in engineering processes, and in the total analysis of coal and coke. When coal samples are combusted in accordance with this method, the chlorine is quantitatively retained and is representative of the total chlorine content of the whole coal.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the analysis of total chlorine in coal.
1.2 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
