Foreword
The revision of this Standard adopted ISO 1928:1995 “Solid mineral fuels -
Determination of gross calorific value by the bomb calorimetric method and
calculation of net calorific value” (English version).
This Standard was redrafted based on ISO 1928:1995 (English version). Annex
A lists the control table on sub-clause numbers between this Standard and ISO
1928:1995.
Considering our national conditions, when adopting ISO 1928:1995, this
Standard made some modifications. Relevant technical differences have been
incorporated into the text and are marked with vertical single lines in the
margins of the articles to which they relate. Annex B gives these technical
differences and reasons for reference.
This Standard replaces GB/T 213-2003 “Determination of calorific value of coal”
and incorporated the content of GB/T 18856.6-2002 “Test methods for quality
of coal water mixture - Part 6: Determination of calorific value of coal water
mixture” into this Standard.
Compared with GB/T 213-2003, the main changes in this Standard are as
follows:
- added the introduction;
- added that it is applicable to coal water slurry (Clause 1 of this Edition);
- added the content of weighing coal water slurry sample (8.2.2 of this
Edition);
- added the determination method for endpoint when the internal cylinder
temperature cannot be observed during the main period (8.2.8 of this
Edition);
- added the calculation formulas for net calorific value at constant pressure
and net calorific value at constant volume when weighing coal water slurry
sample (1.3.1 and 1.3.2 of this Edition);
- added the interpretation of constant terms in the calculation formulas for
net calorific value at constant pressure and net calorific value at constant
volume (formula 13 and formula 15 of this Edition);
- added two annexes (Annex A and Annex B of this Edition);
- made appropriate text changes.
Determination of calorific value of coal
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the principle, test conditions, reagents and materials,
instruments and devices, determination steps, calculation of determination
result, thermal capacity, instrument constant calibration and method precision
for oxygen bomb calorimetric method that is used to determine the gross
calorific value of coal. This Standard also specifies the calculation method for
net calorific value.
This Standard is applicable to solid fossil fuels such as peat, lignite, bituminous
coal, anthracite, coke, carbon shale, and coal water slurry.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 heat unit
The unit of heat is Joule (J).
Joule (J) is the work done by a force of 1 Newton (N) to move its point of action
by 1m in the direction of the force.
1J = 1N · m
The determination result of calorific value is expressed in mega Joules per
kilogram (MJ/kg) or Joules per gram (J/g).
3.2 bomb calorific value
The value of heat released when the unit mass of the sample is burned in an
oxygen bomb that is filled with excess oxygen and the products of combustion
consist of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitric acid and sulfuric acid, liquid
water and solid ash.
NOTE: The heat of combustion of any substance (including coal) changes with the final
temperature of the combustion products. The higher the temperature, the lower the heat of
combustion. Therefore, a strict definition of calorific value, the final temperature (reference
temperature) of the combustion products shall be specified (the reference temperature
specified in ISO 1928 is 25°C). However, in the actual measurement of calorific value, it is
unrealistic to limit the final temperature of the combustion products to a specific
temperature or a narrow range due to the limitation of specific conditions. For every 1K
increase in temperature, the combustion heat of coal and benzoic acid decreases
approximately (0.4~1.3) J/g. When calibrating the heat capacity and measuring the calorific
value at similar temperatures according to regulations, the effect of temperature on the
heat of combustion can be nearly completely cancelled without consideration.
3.3 gross calorific value at constant volume
The absolute value of the specific energy of combustion for unit mass of a solid
fuel burned in oxygen in a calorimetric bomb under the conditions specified.
The products of combustion are assumed to consist of gaseous oxygen,
nitrogen, carbon ...
