——sulfur content St,d index is modified, with Grade I changed to ≤0.70% from ≤0.60%, Grade II to ≤0.90% from ≤0.80% and Grade III to ≤1.10% from ≤1.00% (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——crushing strength M25 index is modified, with Grade II changed to ≥89.0% from ≥88.0% and Grade III to ≥85.0% from ≥83.0% (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——crushing strength M40 index is modified, with Grade I changed to ≥82.0% from ≥80.0%, Grade II to ≥78.0% from ≥76.0% and Grade III to ≥74.0% from ≥72.0% (see 3.1 in Table 1);
——wear resistance M10 index is modified, with Grade I changed to ≤7.0% (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——strength after reaction (CSR) index is modified, with Grade I changed to ≥60% from ≥55% and Grade II to ≥55% from ≥50% (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——coke dry quenching moisture content (Mt) ≤ 2.0% is added (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——coke wet quenching moisture content (Mt) is changed to ≤7.0% (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——dust coke content is changed to ≤ 5.0% (see Table 1 in 3.1);
——requirements of "reactivity index and strength after reaction data shall be provided when required by the user" are deleted (see 4.4 of 2003 edition);
——inspection rules are added (see Chapter 5);
——Annex A is deleted (see Annex A of 2003 edition).
This standard was proposed by China Iron and Steel Association.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of Coking Chemical Subcommittee of National Coal Chemical Industry Technical Committee of Standardization Administration of China (SAX/TC 469/SC 3).
The previous editions of standard replaced by this standard are as follows:
——GB/T 1996-1980, GB/T 1996-1994 and GB/T 1996-2003.
