What is BS 6043-2.1- Aluminum manufacture about?
BS 6043 discusses carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture. BS 6043-2.1 belongs to the BS 6043 multi-series and discusses methods of sampling and testing for carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture.
BS 6043-2.1 specifies methods for sampling and preparation of samples from lots of calcined coke so as to obtain, with sufficient accuracy, a sample that is representative of the average qualities of each entire lot.
Who is BS 6043-2.1- Aluminum manufacture for?
BS 6043-2.1 on methods of sampling and test for carbonaceous materials used in aluminum manufacture is useful for:
- Aluminum manufactures
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 6043-2.1- Aluminum manufacture?
BS 6043-2.1 is applicable to cokes manufactured from pitch or petroleum intended specifically for use in the manufacture of electrodes used for the electrolytic production of aluminum.
Because of the special requirements of these cokes, BS 6043-2.1 includes provisions that do not appear in the methods for sampling similar carbonaceous products, such as metallurgical cokes. These provisions are mainly concerned with the composition of samples for physical measurements and for particle size analysis.
