BS 4262:1984

This standard BS 4262:1984 Method of specifying the technical quality of coke for use in blast furnaces is classified in these ICS categories:

• 75.160.10 Solid fuels

This British Standard describes a method of specifying the technical quality of coke by listing the characteristics which are most widely used in the technical assessment of blast furnace coke.

In the case of each characteristic specified, reference is made wherever possible to an authoritative source giving detailed procedures for the experimental techniques and evaluation of the appropriate characteristic.

Information is given on typical values for each characteristic and the precision of the test methods.

It also provides guidance which may assist in the selection or choice of those properties which will be of most use in the assessment of coke for particular purposes (see Appendix A).

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Lists the characteristics used to specify the technical quality of the coke, states the corresponding methods of tests and gives details of typical values. Appendices deal with guidance on selection of the cokes and details of an extended Micum test.
