ASTM D4292

Determination of Vibrated Bulk Density of Calcined Petroleum Coke

Applicability: ASTM D4292 is a standard test method for determining the vibrated bulk density (VBD) of calcined petroleum coke. It is primarily applicable within the petroleum refining and aluminum smelting industries, where calcined petroleum coke is used in pitch-bonded carbon applications.

Purpose: The purpose of ASTM D4292 is to provide a standard test method for determining the vibrated bulk density (VBD) of calcined petroleum coke. The test evaluates the coke’s porosity, which is a critical characteristic for its use in manufacturing carbon products.
