Overview

Swelling rate (increase in volume when heated) is an important indicator of the quality of coal for coking. It is determined by a standard dilatometric test.

From the expansion curves the following numerical parameters of the tested coal samples can be deduced:

  • Softening Temperature
  • Temperature of maximum contraction
  • Temperature of maximum dilatation
  • Value of maximum contraction
  • Value of maximum dilatation
