Part 2 comprises a series of methods of test for electrode coke as follows: It is essential to use BS3406-1:1986 in conjunction
7、with this Section of BS6043. This British Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at an
8、y stage. This standard describes a method of test only, and should not be used or quoted as a specification defining the characteristics of a product. Reference to this Section should indicate that the method of test used in accordance with BS6043-2.12:1994. A British Standard does not purport to in

This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS6043-2.12:1994 BSI 10-1999 1 1 Scope This Section of BS6043 describes a method for the determination of the particle size distribution of fine calcined petroleum coke powders by a laser diffraction procedur
13、e. The method is applicable to particle size analysers capable of measuring particle size distributions in the approximate range1m to500m. 2 Normative references This Section of BS6043 incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are mad
14、e at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on the inside back cover. For dated references, only the edition cited applies; any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to this Section of BS6043 only when incorporated in the reference by
15、amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication applies, together with any amendments. 3 Principle A representative sample of the petroleum coke powder is sieved to remove any oversize particles which would fall outside the measurement range of the laser di
16、ffraction equipment, and the amounts of material passing through and retained on the sieve are weighed and recorded. A representative subsample of the material which passes through the sieve is dispersed at a suitable concentration in methanol and is passed through the beam of a monochromatic laser
17、light source. The light scattered by the particles in the near-forward direction is recorded by a multi-element detector and the numerical values relating to the scattering pattern are passed to a computer memory. The stored data representing the scattering pattern are transformed, using an adequate
18、 optical model and mathematical procedure to yield the proportions of the total volume present in a discrete number of size classes to form a volumetric particle size distribution. 4 Reagent 4.1 Methanol, general purpose reagent grade. WARNING. Refer to the reagent suppliers Health and Safety data s
19、heets for the precautions which are to be taken for the safe use of methanol. NOTEIt is essential to use methanol for all reference purposes. However, for routine purposes dispersion media other than methanol may be used. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Ordinary laboratory apparatus 5.2 Laser-diffraction particle s
20、ize analyser, capable of measuring the particle size distribution of powder, having a measurement range which includes the range of the petroleum coke to be tested and having a sample dispersion unit, a sample cell, and data handling facilities. NOTEThe sample cell of the particle size analyser may
21、be of the static or flow-through types. 5.3 Test sieve, conforming to BS410:1986, having a nominal aperture size slightly smaller than the upper limit of the measurement range of the particle size analyser (5.2), typically500m, and having an appropriate lid and receiver. 5.4 Microscope, with associa
22、ted light source, suitable for examining dispersions by transmitted light at a nominal linear magnification of approximately 500. 5.5 Ultrasonic bath 6 Sampling and preparation of test sample Prepare a representative test sample of approximately10g of the coke in accordance with clause13 or clause14
23、 of BS3406-1:1986. Sieve the test sample using the test sieve (5.3) to separate any particles which are larger than the upper limit of the size range of the laser particle size analyser(5.2). Weigh the material retained on the sieve and set it aside. Record the mass. Carefully brush the sieve to rem
24、ove any fine particles which may be clinging to the mesh or elsewhere. Add this material to the coke which passed through the sieve, weigh the combined undersize material then mix it thoroughly and use this material for the particle size analysis. 7 Procedure 7.1 Setting up Follow the manufacturers
25、instructions for setting up the laser diffraction particle size analyser (5.2) for the expected range of particle sizes.BS6043-2.12:1994 2 BSI 10-1999 7.2 Sample dispersion Disperse an appropriate amount of the test sample (see clause6) in the methanol (4.1) in the test cell in accordance with the i
26、nstrument manufacturers instructions. In the first instance disperse the sample solely by stirring and after the recommended time has elapsed withdraw a small amount of the dispersion by pipette and examine it using the microscope (5.4) for the presence of agglomerates. If agglomerates are present s
27、ubject the dispersion in the instrument to ultrasonic treatment for1min then repeat the microscopic examination. Repeat the ultrasonic treatment until agglomeration is no longer detected under the microscope, but take care to use the minimum period of ultrasonic treatment which achieves this aim. 7.
28、3 Measurement Measure the particle size distribution of the coke in accordance with the instrument manufacturers instructions, producing the test result in the form of a table showing the cumulative percentage of undersize material at each of the size points in the range for which the instrument was
29、 set up. If the option exists, also produce the test result in graphical form as a curve showing the cumulative percentage of undersize material (as ordinate) against particle size (as abscissa). Perform a duplicate measurement using a new portion of the test sample (see clause6). Express the test r
30、esult as the average of the two sets of measurements. In the event that the test result shows that the particle size range for which the instrument was set up is inappropriate, select an appropriate size range and repeat the measurement. If the instrument does not have an appropriate range include a
31、 comment to this effect in the test report (seeclause8). 8 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) a complete identification of the sample; b) a reference to this British Standard, i.e.BS6043-2.12:1994; c) the amount of oversize material, expressed as a percentage by
32、mass, removed by sieving prior to the determination; d) the manufacturers name and the model identification of the laser diffraction particle size analyser (5.2); e) the type of sample cell (5.2) used; f) the particle size distribution measurement result (see7.3) expressed as a table showing the cum
33、ulative percentage of undersize material at each of the particle-size points associated with the instrumental range used; g) a graphical representation of the particle size distribution if this is available as an instrumental output option; h) any unusual features noted during the determination; i)
