BS ISO 10143:2019

This standard BS ISO 10143:2019 Carbonaceous materials for the production of aluminium. Calcined coke for electrodes. Determination of the electrical resistivity of granules is classified in these ICS categories:

• 71.100.10 Materials for aluminium production

This document specifies a method for the determination of the electrical resistivity of granular carbon (calcined or graphitized) used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes for the production of aluminium.

The measurement of electrical resistivity assists in assessing the extent of coke calcination. The electrical resistivity of the coke aggregate will influence the electrical resistivity of the coke electrodes made from it.

In general, a more highly calcined coke will have a lower electrical resistivity if other factors, such as grain size, are similar.
