5 Specimen Composition

5.1 Overview A specimen is generally merged by many individual sub-samples, or all sub-samples of the entire sampling unit, or a part of sub-samples of a sampling unit. Under certain circumstances, such as. particle size analysis and bias test, a sub-sample constitutes a specimen. Sub-sample merging procedures vary with the sampling mode---time-based sampling or mass- based sampling (see 5.2). 5.2 Merging of Sub-samples 5.2.1 Time-based sampling The mass of sub-samples of time-based sampling is proportional to the coal flow rate at the time of sampling. At this time, the specimen can be directly merged by primary sub-samples or merged by divided sub-samples prepared by the fixed ratio division method to a certain stage 5.2.2 Mass-based sampling If the mass of the primary sub-samples is close to uniform (that is, the coefficient of variation of the sub-sample mass is less than 20%, and there is no correlation between the sub-sample mass and the coal flow rate, see GB/T 19494.1), then, the primary sub-samples can be merged into a specimen, or directly merged, or merged after the primary sub-samples are divided by the fixed ratio division method to a certain stage (see Chapter 6). If the mass of the primary sub-samples is non-uniform, then, they shall be divided by the fixed mass division method to a certain mass, then, merged into a specimen. 5.3 Specimen Merging During specimen merging, the mass of each specimen shall be proportional to the mass of each sampled coal, so that the quality parameter value of the merged specimen is the weighted average value of the quality parameter value of each merged specimen. The division of each specimen before merging shall adopt the fixed ratio division method (see Chapter 6).

6 Division

6.1 Basic Requirements Division is the most critical procedure in sample preparation, and its purpose is to reduce the amount of coal sample. The division of coal sample can be carried out online or offline using mechanical methods, or manually. Whenever the conditions permit, mechanical division shall be applied, so as to minimize human error. 6.2 Mechanical Division Method 6.2.1 Division and dividing machinery Mechanical division can be performed on individual sub-samples or total specimens that have not been reduced, or on specimens that have been reduced to a certain particle size. Division can be carried out by the mode of fixed mass division or fixed ratio division, but it shall comply with the requirements specified in 6.2.3.Specifically speaking, the fixed ratio division is relatively simple and easy to implement. 6.2.3 Cutting interval In order to minimize the bias, when dividing, the first cutting shall be performed randomly within the first cutting interval. For the second and third dividers, the cutting cycle of the latter cutter shall not coincide with the cycle of the previous cutter. 6.2.4 Division of single sub-sample 6.2.4.1 Number of cuttings The number of cuttings for one sub-sample. a) For fixed mass division, the minimum number of cuttings for primary sub-sample is 4, and the number of cuttings for each primary sub-sample of the same sampling unit shall be equal; b) For fixed ratio division, the minimum number of cuttings for primary sub-sample with an average mass is 4; c) When the divided primary sub-sample is further divided, each cut shall be cut again at least once. The division and re-division procedures of a single sub-sample are shown in Figure 3. a) Stage 1 division of a single sub-sample 6.2.4.2 Minimum mass of divided sub-sample The minimum mass of the divided sub-sample shall satisfy the following requirements. the mass of the total specimen merged by all the divided sub-samples in each division stage shall be greater than the mass under the corresponding sample purpose and the nominal maximum particle size specified in Table 1, and satisfy the requirements of Formula (2); if the sub-sample mass is too small to satisfy the two requirements, then, it shall be further reduced, then, divided. Specimen division (at least 60 cuttings) 6.2.5 Division of coal sample 6.2.5.1 Number of cuttings The minimum number of cuttings for the division of coal sample merged by all sub-samples or divided sub-samples is 60. If the mass of the coal sample is too small, then, the manual methods shall be used for division. 6.2.5.2 Minimum mass of divided specimens The minimum mass of the divided specimens (see Table 1) depends on the nominal maximum particle size of the divided coal sample, the precision required for relevant parameters and the relations between this parameter and particle size. However, just meeting the requirement for the minimum mass of divided specimens does not guarantee that the precision meets the requirement, because the latter also depends on the number of cuttings of division (see 6.2.4.1 and 6.2.5.1). 6.3 Manual Division Method 6.3.1 Riffle method Riffle is a simple and effective divider (the structure is shown in Figure 4). It consists of two sets of cells and receivers arranged oppositely across each other. The number of cells on both sides is equal, with at least 8 on each side. The cell opening size is at least 3 times the nominal maximum particle size of the coal sample. 6.3.2 Chessboard method The division by the chessboard method is shown in Figure 5. After the coal sample is thoroughly mixed, pave it into a uniform rectangular block with a thickness not greater than 3 times the nominal maximum particle size of the coal sample [see Figure 5a)]. If the amount of the coal sample is large, and the paved rectangular block is larger than 2 m  2.5 m, then, 2 or more rectangular blocks of equal mass shall be paved, and each rectangular block shall be divided into more than 20 small pieces [see Figure 5b)]. Then, respectively conduct sampling from each small piece. 6.3.3 Strip cutting method The division by the strip cutting method is shown in Figure 6. After the coal sample is thoroughly mixed, randomly lay it along one direction into a long strip, with the length of the strip being at least 10 times the width. When laying the strip, block baffles at both ends of the strip, so that particle size segregation occurs only on both sides of the strip. Then, use a sampling frame with a width at least 3 times the nominal maximum particle size of the coal sample and a side height greater than the thickness of the coal sample strip to cut a section of coal sample at a certain distance along the length of the sample strip as a sub-sample. Merge all the sub-samples into the divided coal sample. 6.3.4 Coning and quartering method The coning and quartering method is a relatively convenient method, but it may lead to particle size segregation and moisture loss, and improper operation may cause bias. In order to guarantee the precision of division, during coning, the coal sample shall be scattered from the top of the sample pile in small portions to form a regular particle size distribution from the top to the bottom, and from the center to the outer edge, and the pile shall be turned over at least 3 times; when spreading the cake, gradually level or flatten it from top to bottom; during sample division, draw two vertical intersecting lines from the center of the cake, then, separate the coal sample along the lines. It is best to use a cross dividing template. In order to reduce moisture loss, the operation shall be rapid. 6.3.5 Nine-point sampling method This method is specially used to take total moisture specimens from total moisture coal samples or shared coal samples.

7 Reduction

The purpose of reduction is to increase the number of specimen particles and reduce the division error. For specimens of the same mass, the smaller the particle size, the larger the number of particles, and the smaller the division error. However, reduction consumes time, physical strength and energy, and will cause the loss of specimens, especially moisture. Therefore, during sample preparation, a large number of large-particle-sized specimens shall not be reduced to the required particle size as test specimens at one time. Instead, the method of step-by-step reduction and division shall be adopted to gradually reduce the particle size and the amount of specimen.

8 Mixing

Theoretically speaking, thorough mixing before division will reduce the errors of sample preparation. However, in practice, this is not entirely the case. Some artificial mixing methods may have the opposite effect, for example, the coning and blending method will cause particle size segregation; when using a mechanical divider, mixing before division is not necessary in guaranteeing the precision of division, and mixing will also cause moisture loss. A feasible mixing method is to pass the specimen through a riffle (see 6.3.1) or a multi-container divider [see Figure 2c)] for multiple times (3 times or above), and merge all samples after each pass, then, feed them into the divider.

9 Air-drying

Air-drying is to spread the coal sample into a uniform thin layer and balance it with the atmospheric humidity at ambient temperature. The thickness of the coal layer cannot exceed 1.5 times the nominal maximum particle size of the coal sample or the surface load is 1 g/cm2 (whichever is larger). ......
