1、Designation:D4182 97(Reapproved 2004)Standard Practice forEvaluation of Laboratories Using ASTM Procedures in theSampling and Analysis of Coal and Coke1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4182;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or
2、,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONTraditionally,coal testing facilities have been established to serve the specific int
3、erests or activitiesof one or more of the following:(1)Exploration and evaluation of coal fields.(2)Establishment of mining and coal preparation capabilities.(3)Coal quality evaluation:(a)to meet contractual obligations;(b)to determine compliance withmunicipal,state,and federal regulations;and(c)to
4、generate documentation used to establish powerrates or rate basis.(4)Confirmation of properties pertinent to coal processing and utilization,such as direct combustionor the production of coal-derived products(for example,metallurgical coke,carbons,liquids,and gas).(5)Coal research pursuits.1.Scope1.
5、1 This practice is limited to the evaluation of laboratoriesusing ASTM procedures that are under the jurisdiction ofCommittee D05 on Coal and Coke.They may be used toevaluate a laboratorys capability to perform the functions forwhich it has been established.It is not the intention that thispractice
6、be used to evaluate capabilities beyond those specifi-cally claimed by the laboratory.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D346 Practice for Collection and Preparation of CokeSamples for Laboratory AnalysisD409 Test Method for Grindability of Coal by theHardgrove-Machine MethodD1989 Test Method
