The range is (100 ~ 1000) mL/min. 3.1.3.6 Analytical balance. Sensitivity is 0.1 mg. 3.1.4 Test procedure 3.1.4.1 In a pre-dried and weighed weighing bottle, weigh (1 ± 0.1) g of coal sample for general analysis test which has a particle size of less than 0.2 mm, accurate to 0.0002 g; spread it flatly in the weighing bottle. 3.2 Method B (air drying method) 3.2.1 Method summary Weigh a certain amount of coal sample for general analysis test; place them in blast drying oven at (105 ~ 110) °C; dry them in an air stream to a constant mass. The mass fraction of water is calculated from the mass loss of the coal sample. 3.2.2 Instrumentation 3.2.3 Test procedure 3.2.3.1 In a pre-dried and weighed weighing bottle, weigh (1 ± 0.1) g of the coal sample for general analysis test which has a particle size of less than 0.2 mm, accurate to 0.0002 g; flatly spread it in the weighing bottle. 3.2.3.2 Open the lid of the weighing bottle and put it in a drying box (3.2.2.1) that has been blasted and heated to (105 ~ 110) °C. Under the condition of constant blowing, bituminous coal is dried for 1 h, whilst anthracite is dried for 1.5 h. 3.3 Calculation of results Calculate the moisture content of the coal sample for general analysis test according to formula (1).
