Overview

EN 14264:2003 is a CEN (European) standard that specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics of impregnating pitch derived from coal pyrolysis. It applies to coal tar and pitch‑based binders and related products used for industrial impregnation purposes. Different grades of impregnating pitch exist depending on the application and desired end‑product properties.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard focuses on a defined set of physical and chemical characteristics that must be measured using specified, normative test methods:

• Characteristics to be determined

  • Softening point
  • Flash point
  • Ash content
  • Toluene‑insoluble content
  • Quinoline‑insoluble content
  • Coking value

• Test methods

  • The standard references specific international methods (e.g., ISO and DIN standards). Table mapping (as given in EN 14264) includes:
    • Ash content - ISO 8006
    • Toluene‑insoluble - ISO 6376
    • Quinoline‑insoluble - ISO 6791
    • Coking value - ISO 6998
    • Softening point - DIN 51920 (ring & ball or equivalent)
    • Flash point - EN ISO 2719 (Pensky‑Martens closed cup)

• Sampling

  • Sampling and sample preparation follow ISO 6257. Methods cover liquid and solid forms (solids with softening point > 30 °C), batches in containers, and large consignments including ship loading/unloading.

• Classification and specifications

  • Classification follows EN 13847:2001 (terminology and classification for coal tar and pitch based binders).
  • Customer‑requested specifications apply; Annex A gives informative typical values that can be used as requirements.

• Typical values (informative)

  • Softening point: 50 °C to 130 °C
  • Flash point: > 100 °C
  • Ash: 0.1% to 1.0%
  • Toluene‑insoluble: 5% to 30%
  • Quinoline‑insoluble: 0% to 10%
  • Coking value: > 35%

Practical applications and users

EN 14264:2003 is relevant to:

• Manufacturers and suppliers of impregnating pitch, coal tar and pitch‑based binders
• Quality control and testing laboratories performing acceptance tests
• Specifiers and purchasers in industries that use pitch for impregnation (e.g., carbonaceous material producers, aluminium electrode pitch applications referenced in related ISO standards)
• Logistics and storage operators handling bulk or containerized consignments where sampling during loading/unloading is required

Use of the standard ensures consistent testing, reliable product specification and conformity with European practice for impregnating pitch quality control.
