The wo
13、rk of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governm
14、ental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The
15、main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Both of the methods were very similar, having the same basic
18、 apparatus and heating rate but using different initial masses of coal arising from the method of pencil preparation. This International Standard combines the two previous procedures by adjusting the equipment specification to define a single acceptable method. BS ISO 23873:2010BS ISO 23873:2010INTE

28、ring system having been previously calibrated using two reference metals of known melting points. The change in level of a piston resting upon the test piece is observed continuously, and a record is produced which is charateristic of the swelling properties of the coal. 5 Materials The following ma
29、terials are required for temperature calibration (7.1). 5.1 Graphite pencils, 30 mm long, base diameter 7,4 mm, top diameter 6,8 mm, with a small cylindrical reservoir drilled in the narrow end of each pencil. 5.2 Metal balls, of the following reference metals: a) lead, of analytical reagent grade,

The bore shall be polished after hardening and th
31、e bore and uniformity of taper (i.e 1 in 50) shall conform to the dimensions given in Table 1. 6.1.2 Mallet, plastics head, mass about 200 g. 6.1.3 Ram (see Figure 1).

33、mensions is shown in Figure 2. 6.3 Dilatometer furnace A furnace capable of heating two or more retorts (6.6) to a temperature of 550 C at a rate of 3 C/min is used. A suitable furnace (for heating three retorts) is illustrated in Figure 2 and consists of a casing fitted with a base and a top cover.
34、 The cover supports a cylindrical block of copper-aluminium alloy CA 104, of 65 mm diameter and 460 mm long. The block has three holes of 380 mm minimum depth and 15,0 mm 0,1 mm diameter, drilled as shown in Figure 2. The top surface may be insulated by an appropriately shaped piece of board. The bl
35、ock is heated electrically by an insulated resistance winding, capable of raising the temperature of the block to 550 C at a rate of 3C/min. The space between the block and the casing is filled with a thermal insulating material. A suitable temperature sensor is positioned in the third retort in suc
36、h a way that the sensor tip lies centrally 30 mm above the internal base of the retort. The distance of 30 mm is established by using a graphite pencil (5.1) as a means of measurement. The furnace shall comply with the following operating conditions. Heat the furnace to 400 C, measuring the temperat
37、ure at the standard sensing point, i.e. at a position equivalent to that of the centre of a normally sited test piece 30 mm above the internal base of the sensing retort. Place a second temperature-measuring device (e.g. a probe), of similar precision, in one of the other retorts at the same height
38、above its base. If the two devices differ, apply a correction. Heat the furnace at a rate of 3 C/min and, when the temperature has reached about 450 C, measure the temperature over the lower 250 mm of the retort using the probe. The difference between the corrected probe temperature and the mean tem
39、perature shown at the standard temperature-sensing position shall be not more than: 2 C in the lower 120 mm; 5 C from 120 mm to 180 mm; 10 C from 180 mm to 250 mm. BS ISO 23873:2010ISO 23873:2010(E) 4 ISO 2010 All rights reservedThe instrument used to measure the temperature can be either the temper
40、ature recorder described in 6.5 or another of at least equal precision. 6.4 Temperature controller The temperature controller shall be a separate instrument from that used to record the rise of temperature during the test. It shall be of the automatic, programmed type capable of maintaining a mean r
41、ate of temperature rise of 3 C/min 0,05 C/min between 250 C and 550 C with a variation of not more than 1 C per 30 C rise in any 10 min period, with a precision of 1 C. 6.5 Temperature recorder A suitable means of producing a complete record of the temperature variation during the test. 6.6 Retort a
42、nd piston A cylindrical retort of cold-drawn seamless tube of steel fitted with a gastight threaded plug at its base and a collar at its top. When inserted in a hole in the furnace, the retort shall be supported only by the collar with the threaded plug clear of the bottom of the hole. When new, the
43、 internal diameter of the retort shall be 8,00 mm 0,05 mm and the external diameter shall be 14,5 mm 0,1 mm. Check the internal diameter with a suitable ball gauge when new, and again after 100, 150, 200, etc., tests. If the internal diameter of the lower third of the retort has increased at any poi
44、nt to more than 8,075 mm, discard the retort. The piston is machined from rod made of steel. Adjust the combined mass of the piston and pen assembly to 150 g 5 g by machining cut-out portions from the piston. The difference between the diameter of the piston and the internal diameter of the retort s
45、hall be 0,2 mm 0,05 mm on manufacture. If this difference exceeds 0,275 mm in use, the piston shall be replaced. The piston shall slide freely in the retort. A stand shall be provided to allow the retorts and pistons to cool in a vertical position after removal from the furnace. 6.7 Means of recordi
46、ng piston movement A suitable means of recording piston movement versus time on a chart shall be used. The horizontal scale (time) shall be such that, when converted to temperature (see 7.3.3), a range of 180 C will occupy a length of at least 150 mm. On the vertical scale, 5 % expansion or contract
47、ion shall occupy at least 3 mm. This may be achieved either by a mechanical pen/chart system or a transducer/electrical signal recorder. A simple mechanical system is illustrated in Figure 2. In this example, two tests are recorded simultaneously on opposite sides of the chart by means of pens clipp
48、ed firmly to the tops of the pistons. The chart is fixed to a cylinder which is rotated at uniform speed by either a clockwork or a synchronous motor and is mounted on a stand which is clamped to the top of the dilatometer outer casing. 6.8 Cleaning instruments 6.8.1 Auger, of diameter approximately
49、 7,8 mm and stem length 400 mm. 6.8.2 Wire brush, of diameter 8 mm and stem length 400 mm. NOTE A wear-resistant steel reamer, of diameter 7,95 mm and stem length 400 mm, can also be used.
