Iron ores for shaft direct-reduction feedstocks — Determination of the low-temperature reduction-disintegration index and degree of metallization
This document specifies a method to provide a relative measure for evaluating the degree of size degradation and degree of metallization of iron ores, when reduced under conditions resembling those prevailing in shaft direct-reduction processes. This document is applicable to lump ores and hot-bonded pellets.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 102, Iron ore and direct reduced iron,
Subcommittee SC 3, Physical testing.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 11257:2015), which has been technically
revised to include ISO 16878 as a reference for the metallic iron determination.

Introduction
This document concerns one of a number of physical test methods that have been developed to
measure various physical parameters and to evaluate the behaviour of iron ores, including reducibility,
disintegration, crushing strength, apparent density, etc. This method was developed to provide a
uniform procedure, validated by collaborative testing, to facilitate comparisons of tests made in
different laboratories.
The results of this test have to be considered in conjunction with other tests used to evaluate the quality
of iron ores as feedstocks for direct reduction processes.
This document can be used to provide test results as part of a production quality control system, as a
basis of a contract, or as part of a research project.
