1、Designation: D441 07 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method ofTumbler Test for Coal1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D441; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in par
2、entheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relativefriability of a particular size of sized coal. It affords a means ofmeasuring the liability
3、 of coal to break into smaller pieceswhen subjected to repeated handling at the mine orsubsequently, by the distributor or by the consumer. This testmethod is serviceable for ascertaining the similarity of coals inrespect to friability rather than for determining values withinnarrow limits to emphas
4、ize their dissimilarity. This test methodalso may serve to indicate the relative extent to which sizedcoals will suffer size degradation in certain mechanical feeddevices. This test method may be used for differentiatingbetween certain ranks and grades of coal, and therefore the testmethod is of ser
5、vice for coal classification purposes.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units shall be regardedas the standard. Mass may be expressed in metric values.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of th
6、is standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use3.1 This test method is a measure of the resistance of thecoal to breakage upon impact and abrasion as the coal rubstogether and against the walls of the transportation vehicle.4. Apparat
8、us4.1 Porcelain Jar Tumbler, consisting of a cylindrical por-celain jar of uniform dimensions, 714 in. (184 mm) in diameterand 714 in. in depth, inside measurements, such as is used forpulverizing coal samples for analysis. The jar shall be fittedinside an iron frame with lifting shelves constructed
9、 as shownin Fig. 1. The two rings, a, shall be 718 in. (181 mm) in outsidediameter and shall be made of34-by18-in. (19- by 3-mm) iron.The three ledges or shelves, b,612 by34 by18 in. (165 by 19by 3 mm), shall be attached radially to the rings by means ofsmall brackets, c, the ends of the shelves bei
10、ng flush with theouter edges of the rings. The shelves shall be attached so thatthere will be58-in. (15.9-mm) clearance between their outeredge and the outside of the ring. Rivets, not bolts, shall be usedin constructing the frame. As the jars available commerciallyare not of absolutely uniform size
11、, the measurements of theframe may be slightly varied to suit individual cases.The frameshall be fixed inside the jar by means of wedges between therings and the inside wall of the jar so that its axis shall coincideas nearly as possible with the axis of the jar, and so that theframe will rotate wit
12、h the jar. The jar shall be closed by a set-inporcelain lid resting upon a heavy rubber gasket and sealedtightly according to the customary procedure with such jars,that is, by means of a bolt working against the lid. The boltshall be set in a crossbar, the ends of which shall be held by ametal stri
13、p which fits around the body of the jar. For tumbling,the jar shall be laid in a horizontal position in a suitable supportor rack and rotated about its cylindrical axis at the rate of 40rpm. The assembled apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 2.4.2 Optional Iron Jar TumblerAn iron jar may be substi-tuted
14、 for the porcelain jar specified in 4.1, provided it hasapproximately the same internal dimensions, namely, 714 in. indiameter by 714 in. in depth. A jar constructed of cast iron isrecommended, and the interior machined to the requiredinternal dimensions. For making it sufficiently light for lifting

It is recommended that the lid, rubbergasket, and the metal strip that passes from the bottom up theoutside of the j
18、ar to serve in holding in place the crossbar abovethe lid, be similar in design with those for the porcelain jar. Thewall of the iron jar for a distance of approximately 1 in. (25.4mm) from the top shall have a thickness of at least12 in. (12.7mm) to correspond with that of the porcelain jar; and in
19、 orderthat the metal strip may fit evenly, the lower inch of the wallshould also have a thickness of not less than12 in.4.3 SievesFor sizing the sample for test, square-holesieves having 1.50- and 1.06-in. (38.1- and 26.9-mm) actualopenings between the wires shall be used. These sieves may befitted
20、into frames, 12 by 30 in. (305 by 762 mm) or larger. Forsieving the coal after tumbling, square-hole sieves having1.06-, 0.750-, 0.530-, 0.375-, 0.0469-, and 0.0117-in. (26.9-,19.0-, 13.5-, 9.51-, 1.19-, and 0.297-mm) actual openingsbetween the wires shall be used. For this purpose, round,metal-fram
21、ed sieves 8 in. (200 mm) in diameter are suitable.The sieves shall conform to Specification E11.4.4 BalanceThe balance used for weighing the sampleshall be sensitive to 1 g.5. Sampling5.1 Collection of Gross SampleCollect the gross sampleof coal in accordance with Practice D2234/D2234M and TestMetho
22、d D4749.5.2 Preparation of Sample:5.2.1 Make a preliminary sieving of a representativeportion, approximately 100 lbs (45 kg), of the gross sample,using square-hole sieves with 1.06- and 1.50-in. (26.9- and38.1-mm) openings. If this preliminary sieving indicates thatthe pieces of coal are mostly smal
23、ler than 1.50 in., sievesuccessive representative portions of the gross sample until atleast 25 lbs (11 kg) of the 1.06- to 1.50-in. size are obtained. Ifmost of the pieces obtained by the preliminary sieving arelarger than 1.50 in., conduct sieving of representative portionsof the gross sample unti
24、l at least 50 lbs (23 kg) of the sievedmaterial remaining on the 1.06-in. sieve are available. Thenbreak the pieces so obtained that are larger than 1.50 in. witha hammer until they pass the 1.50-in. sieve, avoiding as muchas possible the production of pieces smaller than 1.06 in.Should the combined
25、 weights of the 1.06- to 1.50-in. size,obtained by sieving before and after hammer breakage of thelarger pieces, be less than the required 25 lbs, augment theamount by further sieving and breakage of additional repre-sentative portions, or the remainder of the gross sample, takingcare to discard all
26、 pieces in which noticeable cracks havedeveloped by hammer breakage. Take care also to providepieces covering the whole range of the 1.06- to 1.50-in. size inboth the 25-lbs composite sample, and in each 1000-g sampletaken for test as in Section 5. This may be accomplished by theuse of a 1.25-in. (3
27、1.5-mm) sieve to see that approximately halfof the weight of the pieces comprising these samples will bebetween 1.06 and 1.25 in. and half between 1.25 and 1.50 in.5.2.2 Mix thoroughly the total quantity of the 1.06- to1.50-in. size and then resieve it to pass the 1.50-in. sieve andbe retained on th
28、e 1.06-in. sieve. Place only a thin layer of coalon the sieve so as to allow the pieces to be in direct contactwith the sieve openings. Upend by hand individual pieces ofcoal not passing readily through the sieve to determine whetherin any position they pass the sieve.6. Procedure6.1 Weigh approxima

After tumbling, thoroughly gradethe coal as to size upon the sieves
32、designated in 4.3. Carry outthe sieving in such small increments as to permit satisfactorycontact between the individual pieces of coal and the sieve. Onthe two larger sieves, 1.06- and 0.750-in. (26.9- and 19.0-mm)upend by hand individual pieces of coal not readily passingthrough the sieves to dete
33、rmine whether in any position theypass the sieve.6.2 Sieving may be carried out either by hand ormechanically, though the former method is preferable.6.3 Make at least four single-jar tests, and, provided suffi-cient sample is available, it is recommended that two or morefour-jar tests be made. When
34、 only four single-jar tests aremade, sieve the contents of each jar separately in order to besure that there is satisfactory agreement between the resultsobtained. When two or more four-jar tests are made, thecontents of the four jars from each set may be mixed and sievedtogether. Make the weighings
35、 to the nearest 1 g.7. Calculations7.1 The product of the weight percent of the initial 1.06- by1.50-in. sample and its average sieve opening in inches isnormalized to equal 100 % (see Table 1). This is S.7.2 After testing, the resultant weight percent distribution isdetermined. The products of the
36、various normalized averagesize opening of the size fractions and the respective weightpercent are determined. These products are summed. This sumis s (see Table 1).7.3 Friability is calculated as 100 (S s)/S and is reportedto the nearest 0.5 %.7.4 Dust index is numerically equal to the percent of No
37、.50 (USA Standard) material produced during the tumbler testand is reported as the nearest whole number index (see Table1).8. Report8.1 Report friability in percent to the nearest 0.5 %. This isthe percentage reduction in average size of the coal during thetumbler test.NOTE 1Anumerical example of th
38、e method of calculating friability isgiven in Table 1, where the average of the openings of the retaining andpassing sieves is expressed in inches (millimetres) to the nearest 0.001 in.(0.025 mm). The data shown are for a typical coal of medium friability. Itis from the average of the sieve openings
39、 that the approximate relative sizefactors, shown as column (3) are derived. In the column to the extremeright, S represents the average size of the coal pieces before tumbling, ands the average size of the tumbled coal, the value for S being arbitrarilychosen as 100 times its corresponding size fac
