IS 16196 : 2015/ISO 609 : 1996 : Solid Mineral Fuels - Determination of Carbon and Hydrogen - High Temperature Combustion Method

Reaffirmed 2020

NATIONAL FOREWORD

The Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 609 : 1996 ‘Solid mineral fuels - Determination of carbon and hydrogen - High temperature combustion method’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Solid Mineral Fuels Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

Two separate Indian Standards have been published for determination of carbon and hydrogen in coal and coke, namely, IS 1350 (Part IV/Sec 1) : 1974 ‘Methods of test for coal and coke: Part IV Ultimate analysis, Section 1 Determination of carbon and hydrogen (first revision)’ and IS 15441 : 2004 ‘Solid mineral fuels - Determination of carbon and hydrogen - Liebig method’. In case of dispute, the test method prescribed in this standard shall be used as referee method.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
