Bottom Loading Chamber Furnace

Gray King Coke Test Furnace, GKF

Overview

The Gray King coke test furnace evaluates the caking properties of coal or coal blends by carbonising them under standard conditions.

This test data can be easily compared with industrial practices, allowing for a reliable prediction of how the coal will behave during large-scale carbonisation.

The GKF furnace is designed and complies with standards BS ISO 502:2015, BS 1016-107.2, AS 1038.12.2, IS 1353.
