ASTM tests for Physical composition of tar

ASTM tests for Physical composition of tar

(OP)
Are there any ASTM standard tests for determining the physical composition of tar. We have a site with 3 impoundments used for the storage of tar produced as a by-product of coal distillation process. If the physical composition of all 3 impoundments are the same a single method can be used for excavation/removal of tar from all 3 impoundments. Any suggestions/test methods available could be useful. Thanks!

RE: ASTM tests for Physical composition of tar

Go to astm.org and search for "coal tar". You'll get every standard they have regarding coal tar. I doubt you'll find exactly what you're asking for, but with a little research and judgment you'll be able to figure it out.
