ASTM C673-1997(2018) Standard Classification of Fireclay and High-Alumina Plastic Refractories and Ramming Mixes.pdf

1、Designation: C673 97 (Reapproved 2018)Standard Classification ofFireclay and High-Alumina Plastic Refractories andRamming Mixes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C673; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio

2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification covers fireclay and high-aluminaplastic refractories and ramming mixes that can be

3、pounded orrammed into place to form a monolithic structure. The terms“plastic” and “ramming mix” are generally intended to de-scribe the workability of the material. In this regard, plasticsare considered to be materials having a workability index ofmore than 15 % in accordance with Test Method C181

4、, whileramming mixes generally have less than 15 % workability bythe same procedure.1.2 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Gui

Significance and Use3.1 This classification defines a group of classes for use bythose producing or purchasing fireclay and high-alumina plas-tic refractories and ramming mixes. Each class is limited byPCE or alum

8、ina content, or both. This classification is fre-quently used as a specification when the properties shown inTable 1 are the only items specified.4. Classifications4.1 Fireclay plastic refractories and ramming mixes aredivided into two different classifications: (1) super duty, and(2) high duty.4.2

9、High-alumina plastic refractories and ramming mixesare divided into eight different classifications: (1)60%alumina, (2) 65 % alumina, (3) 70 % alumina, (4)80%alumina, (5) 85 % alumina, (6) 90 % alumina, (7)95%alumina, and (8) 100 % alumina.5. Basis of Classification5.1 The properties required for co

10、mpliance with a particularclassification are shown in Table 1.6. Test Methods6.1 The determination of aluminum oxide (Al2O3)onanignition-free basis, as required by this classification, as deter-mined by XRF and ICP.6.2 The determination of the pyrometric cone equivalent(PCE), as required by this cla

11、ssification, shall be in accordancewith Test Method C24.7. Retests7.1 Because of possible variables that may result fromsampling or an unsatisfactory reproducibility of tests bydifferent laboratories, the material may be resampled andretested at the request of either the purchaser or the manufac-tur

12、er. This could apply where the first test results may notconform to the requirements prescribed in this classification.Therefore, the final results to be used shall be the average of atleast two series of tests, each of which has been obtained byfollowing the specified testing procedures in detail.8
