What is BS 6043-1.8 - Ash in the pitch for electrodes used in aluminium about?
BS 6043 discusses carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture. BS 6043-4.9 belongs to the BS 6043 multi-series and discusses the determination of ash.
BS 6043-4.9 specifies a method for the determination of ash in the pitch for electrodes used in the production of aluminium .
The method is applicable to products (tar pitch, petroleum pitch, etc.) producing a quantity of ash greater than or equal to 0,05 % ( m / m ).
Note: If it is required to express the result on the dry product, carry out the water determination by azeotropic distillation as specified in ISO 5939 . Refer to the result of the determination of ash obtained on the product as such, to the dry product.
Who is BS 6043-1.8 - Ash in the pitch for electrodes used in aluminium for ?
BS 6043-1.8 on the determination of ash in the pitch for electrodes used in the production of aluminium is useful for:
Aluminium manufactures
Chemical manufacturers
Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 6043-1.8 - Ash in the pitch for electrodes used in aluminium ?
Ash contributes to the strength, density, and electrical conductivity characteristics of the anode (and cathode) necessary for the efficient conversion of powder alumina to liquid aluminium. BS 6043-1.8 provides you with ...
