About This Item
ASTM D5004 is the standard for determining the real density of calcined petroleum coke by xylene displacement. It provides a controlled test approach for measuring this material property in a way that supports consistent comparison between samples. For buyers, labs, and quality teams, the standard helps align test results with a recognized ASTM method, which can improve confidence in product evaluation, material acceptance, and routine quality control.
ASTM D5004 standard overview
ASTM D5004, titled Standard Test Method for Real Density of Calcined Petroleum Coke by Xylene Displacement, focuses on a specific laboratory measurement method for calcined petroleum coke. The title indicates both the material under test and the displacement fluid used, making the method useful for standardized density determination. In practice, the standard is intended to support repeatable testing conditions and clearer reporting of real density results for technical and procurement purposes.
Where is ASTM D5004 used?
This standard is commonly used in laboratory and quality assurance settings where calcined petroleum coke is tested for density-related characterization. It is relevant in workflows that involve material qualification, incoming inspection, and specification review for carbon-based feedstocks. ASTM D5004 may also be used by producers, purchasers, and testing laboratories that need a recognized method for evaluating real density using xylene displacement as part of routine materials assessment.
Practical importance of ASTM D5004
ASTM D5004 matters because density measurements can influence how calcined petroleum coke is evaluated for consistency and suitability. Using a recognized ASTM method helps reduce ambiguity in test results and supports more reliable comparisons across batches, suppliers, and laboratories. It can also aid compliance efforts, procurement decisions, and product release checks by giving stakeholders a common technical basis for reporting real density.
