The essential elements of all ASTM analytical tests used to characterize coal and coke are now available in one unique volume.

This guide includes brief descriptions of all 56 ASTM test methods that cover the physical, chemical, and spectroscopic analytical techniques to qualitatively and quantitatively identify over 40 chemical and physical properties of coal, coke, their products, and by-products.

ASTM Committee D05 leads the worldwide efforts to standardize the test methods used to characterize coal and coke properties. These ASTM standards are considered to be final authority for the quality of a coal or coke related product.
