UHV stands for useful heat value of coal. which is calculated by the empirical formula as below :
UHV = 8900-138(ash%+Moisture%) in Kilo Calories/Kilogram.
In the case of coal having moisture less than 2 per cent and volatile content (VM)less than 19 per cent the useful heat value shall be the value arrived at as above reduced by 150 kilocalories per kilogram for each one percent reduction in volatile content(VM) below 19 percent and fraction pro-rata.
The Long Flame is a characteristic of coal which depends upon the volatile matter present in the coal. Range of Gross CV and dried moisture are two other factors which determine the long flame characteristics of coal. Following parameters are as laid down in IS 770-1964, general classification of coal(revised).
| Group | Volatile% (on unit coal basis) |
Gross C.V.in K.Cal/Kg (on unit Coal ) |
