Summary of Test Method4.1 The heat capacity of the calorimeter is determined byburning a speci
20、fied mass of benzoic acid in oxygen. Acomparable amount of the analysis sample is burned under thesame conditions in the calorimeter. The calorific value of theanalysis sample is computed by multiplying the correctedtemperature rise, adjusted for extraneous heat effects, by theheat capacity and divi
21、ding by the mass of the sample.4.2 Oxidation of coal after sampling can result in a reduc-tion of calorific value. In particular, lignite and sub-bituminousrank coal samples may experience greater oxidation effectsthan samples of higher rank coals. Unnecessary exposure of thesamples to the air for t
22、he time of sampling or delay in analysisshall be avoided. (See X2.1.)5. Significance and Use5.1 The gross calorific value can be used to compute thetotal calorific content of the quantity of coal or coke repre-sented by the sample for payment purposes.5.2 The gross calorific value can be used for co
23、mputing thecalorific value versus sulfur content to determine whether thecoal meets regulatory requirements for industrial fuels.5.3 The gross calorific value can be used to evaluate theeffectiveness of beneficiation processes.5.4 The gross calorific value can be required to classifycoals according
