ABSTRACT:
A self-sealing ceramic crucible and lid combination suitable for proximate analysis of coal or coke samples. The combination comprises a generally cylindrical crucible vessel having a substantially flat outside bottom surface one one end and being open on the other end, the wall of the vessel terminating at its open end in a rim which is finished circumferentially for sealing with the lid. The inside bottom surface is also preferably substantially flat. The lid member is generally cup-shaped and has a circular top wall and a depending circumferential skirt portion, the upper surface of the top wall being generally flat, the inside diameter of the top wall being slightly greater than the outside diameter of the crucible vessel, such that when the lid member is placed on the crucible vessel, the lower surface of the top wall which has a finished annular recess rests on the rim of the crucible, and the skirt of the lid member extends downwardy along the wall of the crucible and terminates in a circular edge. The finished annular recess in the lower surface of the top wall of the lid member is located adjacent the depending skirt portion, whereby a seal is effected between the crucible and the lid by gravity engagement of the finished rim of the crucible with the finished annular recess of the lid to prevent air from entering the crucible during a volatile run, but permitting gases to be expelled from the crucible during the burn-off period without ashing the sample in the volatile portion of the analysis. The combination allows a complete proximate analysis to be run on a single sample. Preferably, the crucible and lid are made from vitreous silica and finishing is done by grinding.
