1、Designation: C 401 91 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Classification ofAlumina and Alumina-Silicate Castable Refractories1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 401; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers alumi

Basis of Classification4.1 Regular Castable RefractoriesThis class includesalumina and alumino-silicate castable refractories which con-tain hydraulic-setting cement and which have a total lime(CaO) content greater than 2.5 % on a calcined basis. Underthis class, castables having a modulus o

9、f rupture after drying ofat least 300 psi (2.07 MPa) are normal-strength, and thosehaving at least 600 psi (4.14 MPa) modulus of rupture arehigh-strength types. They are further classified on the basis ofvolume stability of cast test brick when fired at the tempera-tures prescribed in Table 1.4.2 Lo

10、w-Cement Castable RefractoriesThis class in-cludes alumina and alumino-silicate castable refractories whichcontain hydraulic-setting cement and which have a total lime(CaO) content of greater than 1.0 to 2.5 % on a calcined basis.4.3 Ultra-Low Cement Castable RefractoriesThis classincludes alumina a

11、nd alumino-silicate castable refractorieswhich contain hydraulic-setting cement and which have a totallime (CaO) content of greater than 0.2 to 1.0 % on a calcinedbasis.4.4 No-Cement Castable RefractoriesThis class includesalumina and alumino-silicate castable refractories which do notcontain hydrau

12、lic-setting cement and in which the bondingagent(s) contribute no significant amount of lime (CaO). Theproduct might contain up to 0.2 % total lime (CaO) on acalcined basis as contributed by the aggregate.4.5 Insulating Castable RefractoriesThis class includesinsulating castable refractories which a
