ASTM D5709

Sieve Analysis of Petroleum Coke

Applicability: ASTM D5709 is applicable to the sieve analysis of both green and calcined petroleum coke to determine its particle size distribution. It applies to green petroleum coke with a topsize no more than 75 mm and calcined petroleum coke with a topsize no more than 25 mm. The standard provides a dry sieve testing procedure to help in commercial transactions, quality control, and production allocation for these petroleum coke types.

Purpose: The purpose of ASTM D5709 is to define a standard procedure for performing a sieve analysis of petroleum coke to determine its particle size distribution. This analysis is used to characterize the coke for industrial applications by categorizing its particle sizes.
