2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers the compounding materialknown as ground coal. It is generally used in rubber com-pounds as a fill
3、er.1.2 There are three grades of ground coal based on particlesize, ash, and moisture. The selected values for these propertiesare suitable for use in a rubber compound.2.

5、oal3. Significance and Use3.1 Ground coal is commonly used as an inexpensive fillerin rubber compounds as a direct or partial replacement forcarbon black or as a diluent in the compound.3.2 Ground coal is very compatible with most rubbers and isvery easily mixed into the compound.4. Basis of Classif
6、ication4.1 Particle size will have a direct effect on the modulus,tensile strength, and tear strength of the finished rubber.4.2 Ash in the coal will effect the specific gravity and highash can influence the curing characteristics of the rubber.4.3 Moisture in the ground coal at levels of 0.5 % and
7、abovecan cause blisters and scorch.4.4 Lowering the density (specific gravity) will reducecompounding cost and affect volume loading.4.5 Ground coal for use in rubber compounds shall conformto the three grades listed in Table 1.5.
