Preparation of Working Sample8.1 Hard PitchIf the pitch can be crushed at roomtemperature, prepare a 20 g working sample by suitablecrushing, mixing, and quartering of a representative portion ofthe dry sample. The crushing can be done with a small jawcrusher and a mortar and pestle. No
25、 particle in the representa-tive sample should be larger than 5 mm in any dimension.Crush this sample so that all of it will pass the No. 30 (600 m)sieve but have a minimum of fine particles.8.2 Soft PitchIf the pitch is too soft to grind and to stickyto mix, heat a representative portion of the dry
26、 sample to thelowest temperature that will permit passage through the No. 30(600 m) sieve, taking care to avoid excessive loss of volatilematter. Do not exceed 10 min for this melting period. Pass theheated sample through the No. 30 (600 m) sieve to removeforeign matter.8.3 TarHeat a representative

The assembly, including the insulator ring willbe at approximately room temperature.9.4 Cover the opening of the furnace with the furnace lidand set the controller to maintain a temperature of 900 C 610 C (see 5.8). With the furnace
35、 at this temperature, removethe lid, immediately center the assembly (see 9.3) over thefurnace opening and start timing the test period. The position-ing of the assembly must be done quickly to avoid excessiveloss of heat. Apply heat to the sample for exactly 30 minwithout changing the setting of th
