COAL ANALYSES

Samples should be put in at least two impervious bags, closed and fastened tightly, and be delivered to the laboratory as soon as possible.

The type of the sample (such as lignite, coke, petroleum coke, hard coal), identification of the submitting persons, additional information about the sample (such as the area it was taken and other necessary descriptive information, etc.) should be stated on the Analysis/Test Application Form.

Analysis results are reported on dry and as-received bases unless otherwise requested.
