Methods of sampling and test for carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture - Cold ramming pastes - Determination of the effective binder content and aggregate content by extraction with quinoline; determination of aggregate size distribution -
This Technical Specification describes a method for determining the content and particle-size distribution of the solid aggregate component, and also for determining the effective binder content, of cold-ramming pastes used in aluminium manufacture.
The method is applicable to cold-ramming pastes made with coal-tar or bituminous binders but not applicable to resin-based binders.
