Moisture, volatile matter and ash are three of the primary parameters used for assessing the quality of coal. A new ASTM standard that covers the use of a macro thermogravimetric analyzer for the determination of moisture, volatile matter and ash in analysis samples of coal and coke has recently been approved by ASTM International Committee D05 on Coal and Coke. ASTM D7582 , Test Methods for…, ASTM Committee D05 Next Meeting:, May 16-19, May committee week, St. Louis, Mo., Technical Contact:, John T.

No industry standard currently exists that addresses the vacuum sealing requirements of knife-edged flanges for high vacuum applications. Existing international standards focus on interchangeability of the hardware, but do not address the reliability of the seal. ASTM International Committee E42 on Surface Analysis is now working on a proposed standard on the subject, WK21206 , Specification…
