1、Designation: D 4596 08Standard Practice forCollection of Channel Samples of Coal in a Mine1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4596; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A num
2、ber in 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 describes procedures for collecting a coalsample from a channel extending from top to bottom in the faceof a coal seam in a
3、 mine.1.2 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. For spec

6、 the face of the seam iscleaned of weathered coal and debris and the face is evened. Achannel of uniform horizontal cross section is cut from the coalseam and the coal therefrom is collected for analysis andtesting.4. Significance and Use4.1 A properly collected face channel sample that includesthe
7、total coal bed interval provides a sample that is a repre-sentative cross section of the coal bed at the point of sampling.Channel samples are taken for subsequent testing needed forevaluation of coal quality and characterization for commercialevaluations, for planning of mining operations to mainta
8、in coalquality, for the determination of coal rank in accordance withClassification D 388, and for geologic coal resource studies.NOTE 1Because of the potential for lateral variability, a sample maynot represent the quality of the coal bed at another sample point. Thereliability of the data generate
9、d from channel samples is dependent on thenumber and spacing of the sample points and the variability of the coalcharacteristics in a given area.NOTE 2Sampling of the mine product for these purposes is unsatis-factory because of contamination of the product with out-of-seam mate-rial, selective mini
10、ng of parts of a seam, inability to obtain samples fromone or more specific locations in the mine, or other incompatibility of thepurpose of sampling with the mining practice. Conversely, channelsamples should not be used for evaluation of the quality of commercialshipments of the mine product, whic

13、 for preparation of the sample for analysis.Steel airtight containers with polyethylene bag liners have beenfound to be satisfactory for this purpose. For other purposes,bags made of a strong cloth and lined with a polyethylene bagmay be suitable.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Comm

Planning of Sampling6.1 Considerations regarding weathered coal and inherentmoisture:Weathered coal is unsuitable for inclusion in channelsamples collected to secure fresh and unaltered m
18、aterial.Weathered coal typically contains anomalously low total mois-ture, yields low calorific value (dry and moisture-and-ash-freebasis), and also produces atypical results for other tests. It doesnot reflect unaltered in-situ coal properties, cannot be used forclassification according to rank, an

20、crystals,and (4) presence of dust, cracked and crazed coal surfaces, ora fragmented condition of the coal blocks resulting from loss ofinherent moisture.6.1.2 It is often useful to collect samples containing theirfull complement of inherent moisture, but that condition maynot always be readily disce
21、rnable. A simple field test can beused to qualitatively identify seemingly fresh coal that has lostsome inherent moisture but has not yet obviously weathered. Alight coating of water is sprayed or wiped onto the surface ofthe coal, and the rate at which it disappears is observed. Rapiddisappearance
22、(typically within a few seconds) indicates ab-sorption and demonstrates that the coal contains less than itsfull compliment of inherent moisture. Slower disappearance(taking perhaps a minute or more) is characteristic of evapo-ration and suggests that the pores are filled with moisture. Toaccount fo
