Abstract

Sets out a method by heating in oxygen, converting to sulfur dioxide and measuring by infrared detection, for the determination of total sulfur in the analysis sample of higher rank coal and coke.

Scope

This Standard sets out a method for the determination of total sulfur in the analysis sample of higher rank coal by the infrared method.
This method has been shown to be applicable to samples having ash values less than 40% and sulfur levels up to 6%. Samples having ash levels greater than approximately 40% may give low results.
