ASTM D6542-2005 Standard Practice for Tonnage Calculation of Coal in a Stockpile《计算料堆中煤吨数的标准实施规程》.pdf

1、Designation: D 6542 05Standard Practice forTonnage Calculation of Coal in a Stockpile1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6542; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number i

2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice is used to calculate the mass (commonlyexpressed in tons) of coal in a storage pile using the volume ofthe stockpile by Test Met

3、hod D 6172 and the density of thecoal determined by Test Method D 6347/D 6347M.1.2 This practice is applicable to all ranks of coal.1.3 The user of this standard determines when the densityvalues provided by the survey require an adjustment formoisture.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pounds or

4、SI units are tobe regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI unitsare shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systemscan result in nonconformance with th

5、e specification.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use

Significance and Use4.1 The physical inventory of tons of coal in a stockpile, ascalculated by this practice, may be used for accounting and taxpurposes.4.2 The inventory results may be com

9、pared to other esti-mates of the inventory, such as:4.2.1 Tons from a previous inventory less tons shipped orconsumed.4.2.2 Tons estimated to have been received (from conveyor,rail or truck weights) less tons shipped or consumed.5. Procedure5.1 Determine if the reported tonnage should be on anas-det

10、ermined basis, or some other moisture adjusted basis. Ifthe moisture content was determined on the density-measurement samples (see Test Method D 6347/D 6347M),then the density data (and the tonnage) can be calculated to adry basis or to another moisture-containing basis.5.1.1 Use Eq 1 or Eq 2 to ad

The percent moisture determinedin accordance with Test Methods D 3173, D 3302, or D 2013 inthe samples collected according Test Method D 6347/D 6347Mis used in Eq 1 or Eq 2.5.1.2 Use Eq 1 to adjust the average density values to a drybasis:

Confidence Interval Calculation6.1 A measurement is stated as a quantity, plus or minussome confidence interval, at some level of significance. In thecase of volume, this translates to total volume (in ft3), plus orminus so

18、me tolerance factor (stated as percent of total volume),calculated at a significance level consistent with Annex A5 ofTest Method D 6347/D 6347M.6.2 The tolerance for the inventory results combines thetolerances, in %, of the density survey data and the volumetricdata according to Eq 4:C 5 =D21 A2(4

19、)where:C = combined tolerances of density and volume in %,D = tolerance of density test in percent (from Test MethodD 6347/D 6347M), andA = tolerance of volumetric survey in percent (from TestMethod D 6172).7. Report7.1 The minimum information to be reported is as follows:7.1.1 The owner(s) and loca
