GRADES

The gradation of non-coking coal is based on Useful Heat Value (UHV), the gradation of coking coal is based on ash content and for semi coking / weakly coking coal it is based on ash plus moisture content , as in vogue as per notification. Grades of Coking Coal Grade Steel Grade I Steel Grade -II Washery Grade -I Washery Grade -II Washery Grade -III Washery Grade -IV Grades of Non-coking Coal Grade Useful Heat Value (UHV) (Kcal/Kg) UHV= 8900-138(A+M) A B C D E F G Exceeding 6200 Exceeding 5600 but exceeding 6200 Exceeding 4940 but exceeding 5600 Exceeding 4200 but exceeding 4940 Exceeding 3360 but exceeding 4200 Exceeding 2400 but exceeding 3360 Exceeding 1300 but exceeding 2400 not not not not not not Corresponding Ash% + Moisture % at (60% RH & 40 C) Not exceeding 19.5 19.6 to 23.8 23.9 to 28.6 28.7 to 34.0 34.1 to 40.0 40.1 to 47.0 47.1 to 55.0
