ASTM D3174

Ash in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke from Coal

Applicability: ASTM D3174 is a standard test method used to determine the amount of ash (inorganic residue) present in coal and coke samples. This test method is applicable to the analysis of coal and coke samples prepared according to Practice D2013 or Practice D346. The results obtained from this test method are used in proximate and ultimate analyses of coal and coke.

Purpose: The core purpose of ASTM D3174 is to quantify the ash content, which is the inorganic residue remaining after burning a coal or coke sample.
