ASTM D5016 – Standard Test Method for Total Sulfur in Coal and Coke Combustion Residues Using a High-Temperature Tube Furnace Combustion Method with Infrared Absorption
Description:
Significance and Use
5.1 The sulfur mass fraction of the ash derived from coal or coke can be calculated to sulfur trioxide mass fraction. This information can be used in combination with results from the determination of major, minor and or trace elements in the same ash to calculate results on a sulfur trioxide free-basis or to calculate total recovered analyte.
Scope
1.1 This test method describes a procedure using a high-temperature tube furnace and infrared detection for the determination of sulfur in coal and coke combustion residues, including lab ashes and residues from coal and coke combustion.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
