USGS Coal Quality Database Search Result

Proximate and ultimate analysis , heat of combustion, forms of sulfur, free-swelling index, and ash-fusion temperature determination for selected coal samples.
[All analyses in percent except Kcal/kg, Btu/lb, free-swelling index, and ash fusion temperatures. For each sample number, the analyses are reported as determined (moisture
included in H and O). Analyses are by a commercial testing laboratory following ASTM standards.]
Yellow = 10 to 25 percent qualified values
Your search criteria were: (Field = POWDER RIVER)
