Determine thevolume of the specimens by measurement of length, width, andthickness to the nearest 0.5 mm (150 in.) in accordance with theapparatus section of Test Methods C 134.7.3 Place the nominal 114 by 114 mm (412 by 412 in.) faceof the test specimens at a 90 angle to the glass nozzle w

34、ith theunbranded surface to be abraded 203 mm (8 in.) from the tip ofthe glass nozzle. With monolithic refractory specimens, thesurface (that is, top troweled face or bottom mold face) thatmost accurately reflects the actual field situation should be thetest surface.7.4 Turn on the air pressure and

35、regulate it to 448 kPa (65psi). Check the air pressure before and after the abrading mediais run through the system.7.5 Measure the cabinet pressure using the water manom-eter and maintain the pressure in the chamber at 311 Pa (114in.) of water by means of the butterfly valve in the exhaustvent.7.6

36、After the air pressure to the gun and the chamberpressure have been adjusted, disconnect the media line to thegun and place a 30 in. of mercury vacuum gauge in position. Ifthe vacuum gauge does not show a minimum of 15 in. ofmercury, check the position of the glass tubing or the conditionof the air-

37、generator nozzle. After obtaining the proper vacuumpressure, reconnect the feed tube and recheck the cabinetpressure before placing 1000 6 5 g of dry abrading media inthe reserve funnel. The feed funnel to the gun must not fillcompletely or flood with material. The feed mechanism whenconnected with

Precision and Bias9.1 Interlaboratory Test DataAn interlaboratory studywas completed among eight laboratories in 1999. Five differenttypes of refractories, along with a plate glass sta

42、ndard, weretested for abrasion resistance by each laboratory. The five typesof refractories were a high-alumina brick, a silica brick, anabrasion-resistant castable, a super-duty fire brick, and aconventional high-cement castable. All specimens were 4.5 by4.5 in. in cross section. Additionally, both

43、 castables were firedto 1500C. Prior to testing, bulk density and sonic velocitywere measured on all specimens to ensure uniformity. Speci-mens were then randomly selected for distribution to theparticipating laboratories.9.2 PrecisionTable 2 contains the precision statistics forthe abrasion resista

45、vals are givenin Table 2. Two test results that do not differ by more than therepeatability interval will be considered to be from the samepopulation; conversely, two test results that do differ by morethan the repeatability interval will be considered to be fromdifferent populations.9.2.2 Reproduci
