The bottom of the boxshall consist of two doors, hinged lengthwise and providedwith a
9、trip latch for rapid opening. The doors are of 6-mm(14-in.) plate and are mounted on freely working hinges so thatthey swing open rapidly and do not impede the fall of the coke.The sides of the box are made of plate at least 3 mm (18 in.)thick.4.1.2 Base PlateSteel plate, 1.22 m (48 in.) in length,
10、965mm (38 in.) in width, and not less than 13 mm (12 in.) thick.Vertical plates at least 200 mm (8 in.) high are placed on allfour sides to form a shallow box and to prevent loss of cokeduring the test. The back plate and side plates are rigidly fixedwhile the front plate is made removable to facili
11、tate shovellingthe coke from the base plate into the box after each drop. It isimportant that the base plate be supported rigidly.NOTE 1Mounting the base plate solidly on concrete is satisfactory.4.1.3 Support FrameA support frame and other appropri-ate mechanism are provided so the box may be readi
12、ly raisedand lowered to fixed or reproducible upper and lower positions.No part of the supporting frame is to impede the free fall ofcoke nor protrude into the 1.22- by 0.965-m (48- by 38-in.)area of the base plate. When in the upper position, the insidesurface of the bottom of the box must be 1.83
13、m (6 ft) abovethe plate. The lower position shall be one convenient forloading and reloading the box without breakage of coke.

The sieves must conform to SpecificationE11.NOTE 2The 150-mm (6-in.) and the 125-mm (5-in.) sieves are notdefined in Specifications E11 but shall
18、 have nominal wire diameters of7.11 mm (0.2800 in.) and 6.73 mm (0.2650 in.), respectively, and havepermissible variations in average opening, permissible variations for notmore than 5 % of openings, and maximum variation in individualopenings equivalent to that specified for the 100-mm (4-in.) siev
19、e.NOTE 3For Procedure A, in which the coke samples do not containmore than 50 % plus 100-mm (4-in.) sizes, the 150-mm (6-in.), 125-mm(5-in.), and 100-mm (4-in.) sieves may be excluded. For Procedure B, inwhich the coke samples contain more than 50 % plus 100-mm (4-in.)sizes, it is permissible to exc
20、lude the 37.5-mm (112-in.), 25-mm (1-in.),and the 12.5-mm (12-in.) sieves.4.1.6 Weighing ScaleFor Procedure A, a scale having acapacity of 35 kg (75 lb) is to be provided and be graduated sothat it may be read directly, without interpolation, to 0.05 kg(0.1 lb). The sensitivity is to be not less tha
21、n 0.025 kg (0.05 lb).4.1.6.1 For Procedure B, this scale is to have a capacity of60 kg (125 lb) graduated to 0.1 kg (0.2 lb) and have asensitivity not less than 0.05 kg (0.10 lb).5. Sampling5.1 The gross sample of coke must be taken as close aspossible to the point of interest, include all sizes, an
22、d beFIG. 1 Shatter Test MachineD3038 93 (2010)2collected in such a way as to be representative of the total lotor quantity in question, in accordance with Practice D346.5.2 For Procedure A, the minimum size of the gross samplemust be such as to yield 68 to 75 kg (150 to 165 lb) of cokeretained on 50
23、-mm (2-in.) sieve when processed according tothe procedure set forth in Section 7.5.2.1 For Procedure B, this sample must be such as to yieldat least 140 kg (300 lb) of coke retained on 75-mm (3-in.) sievewhen processed in accordance with the procedure set forth inSection 11.5.2.2 If experience show
24、s that more than three tests areusually necessary, the quantity of gross sample will need to beincreased appropriately.5.3 The gross sample is to be assembled from incrementsregularly and systematically collected, so that the entire quan-tity of coke sampled will be represented proportionately in th
25、egross sample, and with such frequency that a gross sample ofat least the minimum required amount is collected.5.4 Increments may be collected from a stopped conveyorbelt or by interposing a collecting container into a movingstream while the coke is being loaded or unloaded or otherwisetransported.
26、The increment collected from a stopped belt mustbe all the coke on the belt between parallel planes separated bya distance 2.5 times the nominal top size of the coke. In thesame way, when collecting from a moving stream, the collect-ing container must be as wide as the stream, or be moveduniformly t
27、hrough its whole width and have a mouth opening2.5 times the nominal top size of the coke. The nominal topsize, for this method, is that nearest standard sieve for whichabout 5 % of the coke is oversize.5.5 Samples collected from the surface of coke in piles,bins, cars, ships, or barges, are in gene
28、ral unreliable because ofsize segregation and should not be used for determiningconformance to specifications unless the purchaser and theseller so agree. As it may be very difficult to collect arepresentative sample from coke exposed in bins and cars, caremust be taken to collect increments represe
29、nting the entireexposed area, if sampling must be done in this manner. This isbest accomplished by dividing the exposed surface to besampled into approximately equal areas and collecting anincrement from each area.PROCEDURE ACOKE SAMPLE CONTAINING50 % 100 mm (4 in.) OR LESS6. Summary of Method6.1 A
30、test sample is prepared by removing and discardingthe coke smaller than 50 mm (2 in.) from a representative grosssample. The test sample, approximately 23 to 25 kg (50 to 55lb) is dropped four times from a height of 1.83 m (6 ft) onto arigid steel plate. The shattered coke is sieved. The resistance
31、tobreakage is judged from the cumulative percentages of cokethat remain, after the test, on sieves of various sizes.7. Preparation of Test Samples7.1 The coke used for the shatter test is only that portionwhich is over 50 mm (2 in.) in size, but the distribution of sizesin the portion tested is to b
32、e in the same proportions as in theplus 50-mm (2-in.) part of the gross sample as found in apreliminary size analysis to which the whole of the grosssample is subjected.7.2 This preliminary size analysis is carried out, mainly, byhand placing, a process in which each piece of coke is handledand coun
33、ted as undersize if it will, in some position andwithout forcing, pass through the sieve. Proceeding in this way,and taking care in all operations to avoid breakage, separate thegross sample into the following fractions which are segregatedappropriately in tubs:Passing Retained on Percent_ 100-mm (4
34、-in.) sieve _100-mm (4-in.) sieve 75-mm (3-in) sieve _75-mm (3-in.) sieve 50-mm (2-in.) sieve _50-mm (2-in.) sieve _7.3 Make appropriate weighings so that the percentage ofeach size in the portion of the original gross sample retained ona 50.8-mm (2-in.) sieve can be calculated.7.4 Reconstitute each
35、 sample for testing, 23 to 25 kg (50 to55 lb), from the segregated sizes above 50 mm (2 in.). Selectpieces at random from the total amount of each size, thequantity of each size fraction taken being based on the data ofthe preliminary size analysis.7.5 If the coke contains 5 % of moisture or less, t
36、est thesample as is. Wetter coke is to be dried to 5 % or less beforetesting.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh 23 to 25 kg (50 to 55 lb) of the preparedreconstituted sample to the nearest 0.05 kg (0.1 lb). Transferthe coke carefully into the box of the shatter test apparatus byeither inserting the container int
37、o the box and allowing thecoke to slide out or by removing the coke and placing it into thebox by hand. Do not empty the container by tipping out thecontents.8.2 Raise the box to the standard height and allow the coketo fall onto the base plate. Lower the box to the lower position,drop the front pla
38、te, and shovel the coke from the base plateinto the box, taking care to place the coke into the box withoutmuch dropping. Return the whole of the coke over about 12.5mm (12 in.) in size from the base plate to the box; this can bedone using the shovel, without sweeping at this stage. Repeatthe proces
39、s until four drops in all have been carried out. Someform of indicator is helpful for counting the number of drops toavoid error. Collect all the shattered coke into a container,sweeping up all the fine material and determine the weight. Ifthe weight loss is more than 0.10 kg (0.2 lb), reject the te
40、st atthis stage.8.3 Carry out a sieve analysis on the shattered coke inaccordance with Test Method D293. The sieves to be used are75 mm (3 in.), 50 mm (2 in.), 37.5 mm (112 in.), 25 mm (1 in.),and 12.5 mm (12 in.).9. Report9.1 Report the results of each individual shatter test asfollows:Retained onP

42、duct three tests on each sample. If the range ofvalues of the 50-mm (2-in.) shatter index does not exceed 5.0units, average the three results and report the arithmetic mean.If the range does exceed 5.0 units, make one or more furthertests until three values are obtained that do so agree. Aftercarryi
43、ng out one extra test, thus making a total of four tests, itmay sometimes be found that either of two results can berejected by the above rule, one at a time, to leave twoalternative sets of three results that agree to within the statedlimits. In this case, none of the results are rejected and all f
44、ourshould be averaged in the calculation of the means.PROCEDURE BCOKE SAMPLE CONTAININGMORE THAN 50 % 100 mm (4 in.)10. Summary of Method10.1 A test sample is prepared by removing and discardingthe coke smaller than 75 mm (3 in.) from a representative grosssample. The test sample, approximately 40 t
45、o 45 kg (90 to 100lb) is dropped four times from a height of 1.83 m (6 ft) onto arigid steel plate. The shattered coke is sieved. The resistance tobreakage is judged from the cumulative percentages of cokethat remain, after the test, on sieves of various sizes.11. Preparation of Test Samples11.1 The
