Foreword
This Section of BS 1016 has been prepared under the direction of the Solid
Mineral Fuels Standards Policy Committee. Part 104 is a revision of the 1973
editions of BS 1016-3 and BS 1016-4, which are superseded and withdrawn. This
Section replaces clause 4 in BS 1016-4:1973, from which the principal changes
are the omission of the direct gravimetric method (in 4.2) and the replacement of
drying in nitrogen (in 4.3) by heating in air and then cooling in nitrogen.
Part 104 is a further Part numbered under a scheme for rationalizing and
restructuring BS 1016. The new series, when complete, will begin with Part 100,
which will include a general introduction. The earlier series of Parts is as follows,
with the new Part numbers (which will be given to revisions when they are
published) in parentheses.
Part 1: Total moisture of coal (Part 101);
Part 2: Total moisture of coke (Part 102);
Part 5: Gross calorific value of coal and coke (Part 105);
Part 6: Ultimate analysis of coal (Part 106);
Part 7: Ultimate analysis of coke (Part 106);
Part 8: Chlorine in coal and coke (Part 106);
Part 9: Phosphorus in coal and coke (Part 106);
Part 10: Arsenic in coal and coke (Part 106);
Part 11: Forms of sulphur in coal (Part 106);
Part 12: Caking and swelling properties of coal (Part 107);
Part 13: Tests special to coke (Part 108);
Part 14: Analysis of coal ash and coke ash (Part 114);
Part 15: Fusibility of coal ash and coke ash (Part 113);
Part 16: Methods for reporting results (Part 100);
Part 17: Size analysis of coal (Part 109);
Part 18: Size analysis of coke (Part 110);
Part 20: Determination of Hardgrove grindability index of hard coal
(Part 112);
Part 21: Determination of moisture-holding capacity of hard coal (Part 103).
The following Parts in the new series have been published.
Part 104: Proximate analysis;
Part 111: Determination of abrasion index of coal.
Part 104 is divided into four Sections as follows.
Section 104.1: Determination of moisture content of the general analysis
sample of coal;
Section 104.2: Determination of moisture content of the general analysis
sample of coke;
Section 104.3; Determination of volatile matter content;
Section 104.4: Determination of ash.
This Section is related to ISO 687:1974, published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO). The principal difference is that in the
method described in ISO 687 the weighing dish is cooled in a desiccator instead
of in an atmosphere of nitrogen.

There may be alternative methods for carrying out this determination which are
more rapid and/or less labour-intensive than the reference method described in
this Section of BS 1016. Work is in hand on the preparation of a standard for the
validation of such alternative methods. It is important to demonstrate that an
alternative method is free from bias when compared to this reference method, and
will give a level of repeatability which is the same as or better than that quoted
for the reference method (see clause 9).
WARNING NOTE. This British Standard does not necessarily detail all the
precautions necessary to comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety
at Work etc. Act 1974 or the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1988. Attention should be paid to any appropriate precautions and
the method should be operated only by trained personnel.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

0 Introduction
As coke is hygroscopic, its moisture content will
vary with change of humidity of the atmosphere.
Therefore, the moisture in the general analysis
sample has to be determined whenever portions are
weighed out for other analytical determinations
(for example, volatile matter content, calorific
value, cabon and hydrogen content) and when
results are required on a dry basis. If all the portions
taken for analysis are weighed out on the same day
and at about the same time, one test for moisture
content should suffice.
1 Scope
This Section of BS 1016 describes a reference
method for determining the moisture content of the
general analysis sample of coke.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard
are listed on the inside back cover.
7 Procedure
7.1 Test portion
7.2 Determination
2 Definitions
3 Principle
A known mass of the coke is heated in air at
between 190 C and 210 C (see note 1 to 7.2) and
maintained at this temperature until constant in
mass. The moisture content is calculated from the
loss in mass of the coke.
4 Reagent
4.1 Nitrogen, dry and containing less than 10 L of
oxygen per litre.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Balance, capable of weighing to the
nearest 0.1 mg.
5.2 Air oven, capable of maintaining a temperature
within the range 190 C to 210 C (see note 1 to 7.2)
and in which the atmosphere changes from 3 times
to 8 times per hour.
5.3 Weighing dishes, shallow, of glass with
ground-on covers or of corrosion-resistant metal
with well-fitting covers, of such a size that the mass
of coke per unit area does not exceed 0.15 g/cm2
(see note 2 to 7.2).

where
m1 is the mass of the empty dish plus
cover (in g);
m2 is the mass of the dish plus cover plus coke
before heating (in g);
m3 is the mass of the dish plus cover plus coke
after heating (in g).
Report the result to the nearest 0.1 % (m/m).
NOTE It is recommended that the result is calculated as the
mean of duplicate determinations.
9 Precision
9.1 Repeatability
The results of duplicate determinations, carried out
in the same laboratory by the same operator with
the same apparatus on representative portions
weighed out at the same time from the same test
sample, should not differ by more than 0.1 % (m/m).
9.2 Reproducibility
Since the humidity conditions in different
laboratories will vary, it is not practical to quote a
limiting value for reproducibility.
