The sample is heated in an aluminium retort to a temperatur of 520 °C. The products of decomposition pass into a water-cooled receiver; the tar and water are condensed while gaseous products pass to atmosphere. The coke residue and the receiver and its contents are weighed. The mass of tar is obtained by difference to the mass of wat ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
