Σελίδα 214 - Ib. 3. The increments shall be regularly and systematically collected, so that the entire quantity of coal sampled will be represented proportionately in the gross sample, and with such frequency that a gross sample of the required amount shall be collected. The standard gross sample shall not be less than 1000 Ib.
Σελίδα 215 - ... must be conducted with the utmost dispatch and with minimum exposure to air. The accuracy of the method of preparing laboratory samples should be checked frequently by resampling the rejected portions and preparing a duplicate sample. The ash in the two samples should not differ more than the following limits...
Σελίδα 74 - Loss due to unconsumed hydrogen and hydrocarbons, to heating the moisture in the air, to radiation, and unaccounted for. (Some of these...
Σελίδα 213 - MOISTURE. 1. The coal shall be sampled when it is being loaded into or unloaded from railroad cars, ships, barges, or wagons, or when discharged from supply bins, or from industrial railway cars, or grab buckets, or from any coal-conveying equipment, as the case may be. If the coal is crushed as received, samples usually can be taken advantageously after the coal has passed through the crusher. Samples collected from the surface of coal in piles or bins, or in cars, ships or barges are generally...
Σελίδα 216 - Before replacing the capsules in the muffle for ignition to constant weight, the ash should be stirred with a platinum or nichrome wire. Stirring once or twice before the first weighing hastens complete ignition. The result obtained by this method is "uncorrected" ash. For "corrected" ash see the preliminary report.
Σελίδα 214 - After the gross sample has been collected, it shall be systematically crushed, mixed, and reduced in quantity to convenient size for transmittal to the laboratory. The sample may be crushed by hand or by any mechanical means, but under such conditions as shall prevent loss or the accidental admixture of foreign matter. Samples of the quantities indicated in...
Σελίδα 289 - I am bold enough to go so far as to say that raw coal should not be used as fuel for any purpose whatsoever, and that the first step toward the judicious and economic production of heat is the gas retort or gas producer, in which coal is converted either entirely into gas, or into gas and coke, as is the case at our ordinary gas works.
Σελίδα 8 - Geological Survey for what has generally been called "black lignite." The latter term is objectionable for the reason that the coal is not lignitic in the sense of being woody, and the use of the term seems to imply that the coal is little better than the brown, woody lignite of North Dakota, whereas many of the coals of this class closely approach the lowest grade of bituminous coal. In fact, it is extremely difficult to separate this class from the one below and the one above. It is generally distinguished...
Σελίδα 78 - the gaseous and solid products of combustion, visible and invisible, including .... mineral and other substances carried into the atmosphere with the products of combustion." From the standpoint of combustion loss, it is necessary to lay stress on the term
Σελίδα 1 - rank" will be used to designate those differences in coal that are due to the progressive change from lignite to anthracite, a change marked by the loss of moisture, of oxygen, and of volatile matter. This change is generally accompanied by an increase of fixed carbon, of sulphur, and probably of ash. When, however, one coal is distinguished from another by the amount of ash or sulphur it contains, this difference is said to be one of grade. Thus "a high-grade coal...
