Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization,
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 1213-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 27, Solid mineral fuels.
It cancels and replaces IS0 Recommendations R 1213-2:1971 and
R 1213-3:1971, of which it constitutes a technical revision.
IS0 1213 consists of the following parts, under the general title Solid

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization,
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 1213-2 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 27, Solid mineral fuels.
It cancels and replaces IS0 Recommendations R 1213-2:1971 and
R 1213-3:1971, of which it constitutes a technical revision.
IS0 1213 consists of the following parts, under the general title Solid

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les projets de Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres
pour vote. Leur publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des
comités membres votants.
La Norme internationale ISO 1213-2 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 27, Combustibles
minéraux solides.
Cette édition annule et remplace les Recommandations ISO R1213-2:1971 et R 1213-3:1971 dont elle
constitue une révision technique.
L'ISO 1213 comprend les parties suivantes, présentées sous le titre général Combustibles minéraux

3.89
échantillon pour laboratoire
échantillon préparé à partir de l'échantillon global ou de l'échantillon partiel, tel que livré au laboratoire, et à
partir duquel des échantillons supplémentaires sont préparés en vue des essais
3.90
gaillette
charbon au-dessus d'une dimension limite inférieure spécifiée, mais sans aucune indication de dimension
limite supérieure
3.91
gros coke
coke de dimension inférieure égale ou supérieure à 20 mm, avec ou sans indication de dimension limite
supérieure
3.92
lot
quantité discrète de combustible minéral solide pour laquelle la qualité globale doit être déterminée
3.93
coke de basse température
résidus carbonés, agglomérés et solides, de la pyrolyse du charbon à des températures comprises entre
500 °C et 850 °C
3.94
section de bloc
morceau de combustible minéral solide, de taille permettant un polissage et un examen au microscope
NOTE 28 Une face de la section du bloc, habituellement celle qui est perpendiculaire au plan de stratification, est
meulée et polie.
3.95
matière macérale
constituant organique microscopique du charbon, analogue aux matières minérales des roches inorganiques,
mais qui en diffère par le fait qu'il n'a pas de forme cristalline caractéristique et ne présente pas une
composition chimique constante
NOTE 29 Les matières macérales peuvent être différenciées au microscope selon leurs différentes propriétés telles que
la réflectance, la couleur, la morphologie, la taille et la dureté. Elles proviennent des restes de différents tissus végétaux et
leurs propriétés physiques et chimiques varient en fonction du processus de houillification.

NOTE 30 La classification des matières macérales pour le charbon bitumineux et l'anthracite est donnée dans le
Tableau 2.
3.96
groupe de macéraux
terme collectif pour les macéraux présentant des propriétés globalement analogues et se trouvant dans un
charbon unique, de rang particulier
NOTE 31 Trois groupes de macéraux sont reconnus: la vitrinite (huminite dans le charbon brun), la liptinite et l'inertinite.
Les groupes de macéraux pour le charbon bitumineux et l'anthracite, et leurs subdivisions, sont donnés dans le Tableau 2.

Existe dans les charbons bitumineux postcarbonifères.

3.97
échantillonnage basé sur la masse
réalisation de prélèvements élémentaires dans l'unité à échantillonner à intervalles de masse réguliers
NOTE 32 Chaque prélèvement élémentaire ou prélèvement élémentaire divisé, constituant l'échantillon partiel ou
l'échantillon global, devrait généralement présenter une masse quasiment uniforme.
3.98
pouvoir réflecteur maximal
valeur maximale du pouvoir réflecteur, obtenue quand une section polie quelconque d'une particule ou d'un
bloc de charbon est mise en rotation dans son plan sous un faisceau de lumière à polarisation rectiligne
3.99
dimension moyenne
calibre des particules moyen pondéré d'un échantillon
3.100
intervalle de fusion
intervalle entre la température de goutte et la température de fluidification
