7、ndardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work 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 righ
8、t to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, 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
9、Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The 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
10、 International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

The sample mass, in kilograms, should not be less than 0,1 of the maximum grain size, in millimetres, for grain sizes between 3 mm and 20 mm and, in an
27、y case, not less than 500 g. 8 Procedure 8.1 Single-stage method Raise the temperature of the oven to between 105 C and 110 C while passing nitrogen at a rate to provide 15 oven-volume changes per hour. Weigh a clean, dry, empty weighing dish with its lid to the nearest 0,001 g. Spread into it an ev
28、en layer of approximately 10 g of the sample (7.1). Cover and reweigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Place the uncovered dish and its lid in the oven for 3 h or until constant mass is obtained. NOTE The time required to achieve constant mass can be assessed by individual laboratories for each coal rank. Re
29、move the dish and dried sample from the oven, replace the lid, and allow to cool on a metal plate, for not longer than 10 min. Transfer the dish and sample to cooling vessel and allow it to cool to room temperature (approximately 20 min), then weigh the dish and sample to the nearest 0,001 g. BS ISO
30、 5068-1:200758.2 Two stage method 8.2.1 Air dry loss moisture Weigh a non-corrodible tray to the nearest 0,01 g, spread into it an even layer of not less than 500 g of the coarsely crushed sample (7.2); reweigh to the nearest 0,01 g. Dry the crushed sample for 2 h in the non-corrodible tray in air a
31、t ambient temperature. This procedure can be accelerated by placing the sample on a tray in the drying cabinet at a temperature not exceeding 40 C and not less than 30 C. In the latter case, allow the dried sample to attain equilibrium with the atmosphere before reweighing. Redry the sample until th
32、e change in mass of the sample is less than 0,3 % of the original mass over a 2 h period. Take the lowest mass of the successive weighings of the non-corrodible tray and air-dried sample for calculation purposes. 8.2.2 Residual moisture Crush the air-dried sample (8.2.1) to pass a 3,15 mm aperture s
33、ieve. Weigh a clean, dry, empty weighing dish with its lid to the nearest 0,001 g. Spread into it an even layer of approximately 10 g of the above sample. Cover and reweigh to the nearest 0,001 g. Place the uncovered dish and its lid in the oven, previously heated to 105 C to 110 C and pass nitrogen
34、 through it at a rate of approximately 15 oven-volume changes per hour. Remove the dish with the dried sample from the oven and replace the cover (if possible while the dish is still in the nitrogen-flushed oven, otherwise immediately after removal from the oven). Allow the dish to cool on a thick,
35、metal plate for not longer than 10 min. At the end of the 10 min cooling period, transfer the dish to a cooling vessel and allow it to cool to room temperature. As soon as room temperature is reached, re-weigh to the nearest 0,001 g. 9 Expression of results 9.1 Single-stage method 9.1.1 Total moistu

44、gen-purification train It is essential that the nitrogen used for ventilating the minimum-free-space oven should be comparatively pure, since even the small residual amount of oxygen that is found in commercial nitrogen can cause oxidation and hence produce a low result in the moisture figure determ
45、ined by the loss in mass on drying. A good purification train for nitrogen is, therefore, required. A suitable one is described here, which is capable of dealing with at least 600 ml per minute at a pressure of a few millimetres mercury gauge. A convenient source of the gas is a cylinder of compress
46、ed nitrogen. The purification train consists of a quartz tube 500 mm long and with an internal diameter of 37 mm, containing 1,2 kg of reduced copper in wire form. The purification tube is heated by a suitable furnace, which encloses the tube to a length of 380 mm and allows the part of the tube con
47、taining the copper wire filing to protrude approximately 80 mm at exit end in order to produce a temperature drop in the gas stream. The reduced copper is heated to approximately 500 C. The last traces of oxygen are removed by the very large surface area of copper. If it is necessary to reduce any c
48、opper oxide formed during the purification of the nitrogen, this can be done by passing hydrogen through the tube containing the copper, which is heated to 450 C to 500 C. During the reduction process, the water formed is expelled to atmosphere. The tube should be purged with nitrogen before use, th
49、e reduced copper emptied from the tube and any agglomerated material broken down, and the tube refilled. Alternatively, a commercial source of nitrogen may be employed in the absence of a purification train, provided that the gas in the cylinder contains not more than 30 l of oxygen per litre of nitrogen. In either case, the purified nitrogen shall be passed through a column of magnesium perchlorate (or silica gel) to remove traces of moisture that can be present. BS ISO 5
