Terminology 3.1 Definitions: 3.1.1 as-determined basis—analytical data oblained from the analysis sample of coal or coke after conditioning and preparation to No. 60 (250-4m) sieve in accordance with Practice D2013 and Test Method D3302, As-determined data represents the numerical values obtained at the particular ‘moisture level in the sample at the time of analysis.

If the sample has ‘been maintained in a sealed state so that there has been no gain or loss, the as-received basis is equivalent to the moisture basis, as sampled. 3.1.3 dry basis—data calculated to a theoretical base of no ‘moisture associated with the sample. The numerical value as established by Test Methods D3173 or D7582 is used for converting the as-determined data to a dry basis, 3.1.4 dry, ash-free basis—data calculated to a theoretical base of no moisture or ash associated with the sample Numerical values as established by Test Methods D3173, 3174, or, D7582 are used for converting the as-determined data to a moisture- and ash-free bass. 3.15 equilibrium moisture base—data calculated 10 the ‘moisture level established as the equilibrium moisture. Nu- merical values as established by Test Method D112 are used for the calculation, 4. Significance and Use 4.1 The calculations of analytical data for the coal and coke test parameters listed in Section 6, assume the analysis sample thas been prepared according to Practice D2013 and Test ‘Method D3302. 42 This practice provides formulas, to enable calculations of data from the as-determined analysis sample 10 various moisture bases, in common use by the coal and coke industry. 5.
