Overview
ISO 687:2024 - "Coke - Determination of moisture in the general analysis test sample" specifies a standardized gravimetric method for measuring moisture in coke test samples. Applicable to blast-furnace coke, foundry coke and other high‑temperature carbonization products, the method determines moisture by heating a known mass of the general analysis sample until constant mass and calculating the moisture mass fraction from the mass loss. The 2024 fourth edition adds the optional use of nitrogen atmospheres and a minimum free space oven.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Moisture determination for general analysis test samples of coke and related products.
- Principle: Gravimetric loss-on-drying - heat a weighed sample in air or nitrogen at a controlled temperature until constant mass is achieved.
- Temperatures:
- Typical range: 120 °C to 200 °C (optionally 105 °C for lower-temperature drying).
- Faster procedure: 320 °C in nitrogen (1 h usually sufficient) using a minimum free space oven.
- Atmosphere:
- Dry air or nitrogen (optional); nitrogen must have oxygen < 30 µl/l. Commercial nitrogen with moisture < 5 µl/l is acceptable.
- For nitrogen operation, recommended flow ≈ 15 × oven volume per hour in minimum free space ovens.
- Apparatus and sample:
- Analytical balance with 0.1 mg readability.
- Shallow glass or corrosion‑resistant metal dish with cover; sample layer ≤ 0.20 g/cm²; nominal sample mass 1 ± 0.1 g.
- Cooling vessel (desiccator) without desiccant; option to cool under air or nitrogen flow.
- Procedure highlights:
- Weigh empty dish + cover, add sample, heat until constant mass (reheat 30 min intervals if needed until mass change ≤ 1 mg).
- Report mean of duplicate determinations to nearest 0.1 %.
- Calculation:
- Moisture mass fraction (%) = (mass loss on drying / sample mass before drying) × 100.
- Precision:
- Repeatability limit: 0.2 % absolute for duplicate determinations in the same lab. Reproducibility across labs not specified due to varying humidity conditions.
Applications and users
- Quality control and routine testing in metallurgical plants, coke producers, foundries, and independent analytical laboratories.
- Laboratories correcting other analyses (e.g., volatile matter, hydrogen) to a dry basis when moisture in the general analysis sample must be known.
- Users who require standardized, traceable moisture results for product specification, process control, compliance and inter‑laboratory comparison.
Related standards
- ISO 1213-2 (vocabulary for sampling, testing and analysis) - referenced for terms and definitions.
- ISO 687:2024 complements other coke and coal test methods used in laboratory quality systems.

Introduction
The determination of moisture in the general analysis test sample is required to correct the results of certain
analytical determinations, e.g. volatile matter and hydrogen, for the effect of water in the determination and
to allow all determinations to be corrected to a dry basis.
Since coke is hygroscopic, its moisture will vary with a change in humidity of the atmosphere, and the
