The Evaluation of the Nippon Steel Corporation Reactivity and Post-Reaction-Strength Test for Coke

摘要

The Nakanihon-Ro-Kogyo furnace and control equipment, designed for the determination of the Nippon Steel Corporation reactivity and post-reaction-strength test, was commissioned in March 1979. It was used primarily to establish the repeatability and, together with three other laboratories using the same or similar apparatus, the reproducibility of the results. The programme of work included: studies of the effects of variations in the sample-preparation procedure and the test-control parameters in order to identify possible sources of error, and investigations of the possibilities of reducing the overall time taken to perform the test.
