ASTM D5004 – Standard Test Method for Real Density of Calcined Petroleum Coke by Xylene Displacement
Description:
Significance and Use
5.1 The density of petroleum coke directly influences the physical and chemical properties of the manufactured carbon and graphite artifacts for which it is used. Density, therefore, is a major quality specification of calcined petroleum coke and is used as a control in coke calcination.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the real density (RD) of calcined petroleum coke. Real density, by definition, is obtained when the particle size of the test specimen is smaller than 75 μm (No. 200 sieve).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
