For terms relating to petrogra
11、phic analysis, seeISO7404-1:1984, Methods for the petrographic analysis of bituminous coal and anthracite Part1: Glossary of terms. This part of ISO 1213 takes into account the distinction between processes or operations and the methods or machines for carrying them out. Clause3 is devoted primarily
12、 to coal properties and the principal operations involved in coal preparation, and also includes general terms such as those relating to capacities and flowsheets. Clauses4 to7 cover the detailed terminology relating to sizing, cleaning, separation of solids from water or air, and size reduction. Cl
13、ause8 deals with the terms involved in interpreting or expressing the results of coal preparation operations. Clause9 includes some miscellaneous terms. Clause10 covers terms related to blending and homogenization. Clause11 covers terms related to automatic control. Of necessity, it covers only a li
14、mited selection of terms. A list of other International Standards, which together provide a more comprehensive set of terms, is given inAnnex A. Most of the clauses are subdivided, and in each case the first subclause includes general terms and the remaining subclauses cover groups of related terms.
15、 As far as possible, this logical principle has been carried through into the arrangement of the terms themselves, which are also numbered for ease of reference. An alphabetical index is also provided, with a numerical cross-reference. 1 Scope This part of ISO 1213 defines terms commonly employed in
