Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONGreen petroleum coke is a byproduct of certain oil refining technologies but has multiple uses, suchas a solid mineral fuel or a key constituent of making
3、anodes. The chemical and physicalcharacteristics of green petroleum coke, particularly the moisture content, are not always distributedequally in the different sized particles. As such, the sampling of green petroleum coke must follow thegeneral sampling principals of capturing the particle size dis
4、tribution of the consignment into the grosssample that is collected to represent it.Green petroleum coke sampling has relied on the sampling standards for Coal and Coke underASTM Subcommittee D05.05 for guidance on how to collect and prepare samples, in particular,Practice D2234/D2234M for the Colle
5、ction of a Gross Sample of Coal, Practice D2013/D2013M forthe Preparation of Coal Samples for Analysis, and Practice D346 for the Collection and Preparationof Coke Samples for Laboratory Analysis have been used, among others. With the growing use ofmechanical sampling equipment, Practice D7430 for t
6、he Mechanical Sampling of Coal has been addedto the mix. The above cited standards are useful, but do not account for some of the uniquecharacteristics of petroleum coke, which has led to widespread confusion as to which parts areapplicable, especially Practice D346, which is really used for coke ma
7、de from coal and not frompetroleum refining.This practice gives guidelines for the user on how to sample green petroleum coke. The intent is notto write a standalone standard for green petroleum coke but to direct the user as to how to apply theD05.05 coal standards already in existence.1. Scope1.1
8、This practice primarily references Practice D2234/D2234M and applies its sampling principles to green petro-leum coke. Green petroleum coke is typically more homoge-neous than coal and this practice provides specific guidance forthe application of D05.05 coal standards to the sampling ofgreen petrol

Thispractice directs the user to the appropriate coal standard toa

21、population.3.2.4.1 DiscussionIn the case of sampling green petro-leum coke, this statistical terminology from Terminology E456is stating that the enumerator (human sampler) selects itemsfrom the population (collects sample increments) based onvarious cues (time/tonnage, at transfer point, etc.) so t
22、hat theitems (sample increments) appear to match the population(representative sample). The key dynamic here is that thesampler is attempting to collect a representative sample usingtheir best judgment as to when and how to collect incrementswhen, (a) so many particles in the consignment have a zero
23、chance of being selected; and (b) there is no sure way toovercome particle size segregation in the material.3.2.5 mechanical sampling system, na single machine orseries of interconnected machines whose purpose is to extractmechanically, or process (divide and reduce), or a combinationthereof, a samp

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice applies the requirements of PracticeD2234/D2234M to the sampling of green petroleum coke.Practice D2234/D2234M
28、is an umbrella standard which definesfour different conditions of sample increment collection. Thispractice delineates which ASTM standard to use based on thecondition of sampling available.4.1.1 Conditions of Increment CollectionThe conditionsunder which individual increments are collected are the
29、con-ditions of the main body of green relative to the portionwithdrawn. Four conditions are recognized:4.1.1.1 Condition A (Stopped-belt Cut), in which a loadedconveyor belt is stopped, and a full cross-section cut withparallel sides is removed from the green petroleum cokestream. The distance betwe
30、en the parallel faces shall not be lessthan three times the normal top size of the green petroleumcoke.4.1.1.2 Condition B (Full-stream Cut), in which a fullcross-section cut is removed from a moving stream of greenpetroleum coke.4.1.1.3 Condition C (Part-stream Cut), in which a portion,not a full c
31、ross-section, is removed from a moving stream ofgreen petroleum coke.4.1.1.4 Condition D (Stationary Coal Sampling), in which aportion of green petroleum coke is collected from a pile, a railcar, a barge, or a ship hold. Mechanical sampling with an augeris Condition D sampling.4.2 The first two cond
32、itions, A (Stopped-belt Cut) and B(Full-stream Cut), are considered probability samples becauseevery particle in the lot has a non-zero chance of being selectedand the sample collection method overcomes any particle sizesegregation in the material. The latter two conditions, C(Part-stream Cut) and D
33、 (Stationary Coal Sampling), areconsidered nonprobability samples primarily because there arelarge numbers of particles in the lot that have a zero chance ofbeing selected for the sample and the sampling method cannotensure overcoming any particle size segregation in the con-signment. In addition, C
34、onditions C and D are often referred toas judgment samples because the increments are not collectedaccording to probability but primarily based on the humanjudgment of the sampling personnel.4.3 The highest feasible condition should be used forsample collection and probability sampling is strongly p
35、re-ferred over nonprobability or judgment sampling.5. Summary of Practice5.1 It is intended that this practice be used to provide asample representative of the green petroleum coke from whichit is collected. Because of the variability of green petroleumD8145 182coke and the wide variety of sampling
36、equipment, cautionshould be used in all stages of sampling from system specifi-cations and equipment procurement to equipment acceptancetesting and the actual collection of increments for the finalsample.5.2 After further processing by mechanical or manual re-duction and division, the sample may be
37、analyzed for a numberof different parameters. These parameters may affect the lotsvalue, its ability to meet specifications, its environmentalimpact, as well as other properties.5.3 It is intended that this practice be used for all greenpetroleum coke sampling. Practice D346 is no longer to beused f
38、or sampling green petroleum coke.6. Specific Instructions for Green Petroleum Coke6.1 For the sampling of green petroleum coke in all fourconditions, determine the minimum number of increments andminimum mass of the primary increments by applying theprinciples outlined in subsections 8.1.1.4/8.1.1.5
39、 (Number ofGross Samples) of Practice D2234/D2234M. Use the samemultiplier of 15 in the square root formula as would be used onmechanically cleaned coal in Table 2 (Number and Mass ofIncrements for General Purpose Sampling Procedure) of Prac-tice D2234/D2234M.6.1.1 When sampling a blend of separate
40、sources of greenpetroleum coke that are already mixed, or in cases wherecontamination with other materials is suspected, calculate theminimum number of increments by using the multiplier of 35in the square root formula as would be used on unwashed coal.For short hand in the field, simply multiplying
41、 by 2.3 the resultobtained in 6.1 using the multiplier of 15 will be sufficient.6.2 For each of the four conditions of sampling, use thestandard below for green petroleum coke.6.2.1 Condition AStopped-belt Cut, is covered by PracticeD7430, Part Dsee Practice D7430, Annex A1, Collection ofReference S
42、amples. This practice is used primarily in thecollection of the reference samples in a bias test but is alsofeasible if multiple conveyor belt stops and starts are allowed.6.2.2 Condition BFull-stream Cut is covered by PracticeD7430, Part A, Mechanical Collection and Within-systemPreparation of Gros
43、s Sample of Coal from Moving Streams.This practice is to be used for green petroleum coke wheneverfull-stream cut mechanical sampling is available.6.2.3 Condition CPart-stream Cut is covered by GuideD6609. This guide is to be used for both the manual andmechanical sampling of green petroleum coke wh
44、ile it is beingmoved by conveyor belt and a full-stream cut cannot becollected.6.2.4 Condition DStationary Sampling is covered byPractice D6883. This practice is to be used for manual andmechanical sampling of green petroleum coke whenever it isnot being moved by conveyor belt.6.3 Condition B is the
45、 condition of sampling found infull-stream cut mechanical sampling systems utilizing eithercross-stream sampler or cross-belt sampler designed primarycutters.6.3.1 When mechanical sampling systems are used to col-lect samples, utilize the information and processes contained inPractice D7430, Part C,
46、 Quality Management of MechanicalCoal Sampling Systems.6.3.2 To test a sampling system for bias, use PracticeD7430, Part D, Bias Testing a Mechanical Coal SamplingSystem.6.4 If a sample is needed for size consist analysis accordingto Test Method D5709, collect a separate sample of the massindicated
47、in Test Method D5709 to avoid using the samplerequired for the determination of moisture content.6.4.1 It is good practice to separate large consignments intomultiple sub-lots for analysis. Unless specifically required, onesizing sample can be used to represent an entire consignment aslong as the sa
48、mple increments are collected at regular intervalsthroughout the entire consignment.7.
