3 Principle
A portion of prepared sample of coal of limited size range and the standard anthracite are mixed under defined conditions, and the mixture is carbonized rapidly. The crucible coke thus obtained is tested for strength in a drum conforming to certain specifications. The caking power of the test sample is expressed by the abrasive strength, i.e. resistance to breakage of the crucible coke.
