(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Real Density of Calcined Petroleum Coke by Xylene Displacement
Standard Test Method for Real Density of Calcined Petroleum Coke by Xylene Displacement
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The density of petroleum coke directly influences the physical and chemical properties of the manufactured carbon and graphite artifacts for which it is used. Density, therefore, is a major quality specification of calcined petroleum coke and is used as a control in coke calcination.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the real density (RD) of calcined petroleum coke. Real density, by definition, is obtained when the particle size of the test specimen is smaller than 75 μm (No. 200 sieve).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific warning statements, see Sections 10 and 11.1.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 calcined petroleum coke—green petroleum, n—petroleum coke that has been thermally treated to drive off the volatile
matter and to develop crystalline structure.
3.1.2 petroleum coke—a solid,, n—solid, carbonaceous residue produced by thermal decomposition of heavy petroleum
fractions or cracked stocks, or both.
3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 bulk density, n—the mass —mass of the particles divided by the volume they occupy that includes the space between the
particles. Refer to Test Methods D4292 and D7454 for bulk density procedures.
3.2.2 dedusting materialdedusting material, n—see Test Method D4930.
3.2.3 real densityreal density, n—(also referred to as true specific gravity), the mass divided by the volume occupied by the
material excluding pores and voids. It is required, therefore, that voids in the coke be eliminated and that pores in the material be
filled by the fluid being displaced. This requirement is met for the purposes of this test method by reducing the coke particles to
a size smaller than 75 µm.
