This document specifies a method for the determination of the electrical resistivity of granular carbon (calcined or graphitized) used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes for the production of aluminium. The measurement of electrical resistivity assists in assessing the extent of coke calcination. The electrical resistivity of the coke aggregate will influence the electrical resistivity of the coke electrodes made from it. In general, a more highly calcined coke will have a lower electrical ...view more

This document describes methods for the sample preparation of smelter-grade aluminium oxide. It covers the reduction of a bulk sample between 1 kg and 20 kg to produce a sample that is suitable for chemical and physical analysis. The reduced sample produced will be representative of the initial bulk sample. The bulk sample is considered to be from one source. The methods are suitable for dry, free-flowing aluminium oxide. As the moisture content will influence many physical analyses, the method ...view more

This document specifies a hydrostatic method for the determination of the apparent density and the open (to water) porosity of carbonaceous products used in the production of aluminium. This hydrostatic method was developed principally to determine the open porosity but can also be used to measure the apparent density. This document is especially applicable to samples of complex on irregular geometry (due to drilling difficulties).

This document specifies a dimensions method for the determination of the apparent density of carbonaceous products used in the production of aluminium. This method is applicable to samples with a simple or well-defined geometry (for example cylindrical, rectangular parallelepipedical or cubic) and a smooth surface profile. The accuracy of measurement is strongly influenced by the equipment used for sampling, i.e. the drilling and sawing machines.

ISO 12984:2018 specifies a method for the determination of the particle size distribution of a sample of coke having a typical size distribution as normally produced by calcination of delayed petroleum coke. The same procedure is applicable to consignments of calcined anthracite. This document does not apply to fractions of carbon material prepared by sieving and crushing or to filter fines. This method is applicable to the determination of particle sizes ranging from 0,25 mm to 16 mm, as the su...view more

ISO 18842:2015 describes methods for the determination of tapped and untapped bulk density of smelter grade aluminium oxide primarily used for the production of aluminium. Methods using the fall of sample into a receptacle have been found to be sensitive to flow rate variations, which are caused by physical properties of the aluminium oxide. ISO 18842:2015 minimizes flow rate variations.

ISO 18843:2015 sets out a method for determining the amount of time taken for a given quantity of smelter-grade alumina to flow by gravity through a precisely constructed standard funnel. NOTE Variations in the apparatus and other test variables can create significant inter-laboratory differences in results. (See Table A.1.)
