1、Designation: C865 13Standard Practice forFiring Refractory Concrete Specimens1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C865; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenthe

2、ses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () 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 practice covers the firing of specimens made fromrefractory concret

The procedure is alsorecommended for heating rates to be used for high-temperaturetest methods such as Methods C16, C583, etc., when thesemethods are used to test refractory concretes.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound u

For temperatures up to 2500F(1370C) an electrically heated kiln is preferred, but gas- oroil-fired kilns can be used for all temperatures, provided theheating rates specified can be maintained, the flame of theburners does not impinge di

Preparation of Samples5.1 Samples are prepared by casting in accordance withMethods C862. If the sample size of the cast specimen is thesame as that specified for the test, it can be used dir

10、ectly.However, cutting samples of the required size from larger castblocks will often be necessary (Note 1). In this case, it isrecommended that the samples be cut with a diamond saw.After cutting, the samples should be dried at 230F (110C) fora minimum of 18 h. All cut samples should have sharp edg

11、esand corners and should not show pull-out of grains on the cutsurfaces. For some low-strength castables, drying prior tocutting may be needed to increase their strength and resistanceto pull-outs.NOTE 1Specimens cut from the interior of large cement bondedcastables shapes may be stronger than speci

12、mens cut from small castshapes because the interior of large cast shapes are exposed to highpressure steam during dryout which causes more complete hydration ofthe cement.5.2 Some types of castables, especially those containingaggregates of a relatively low hardness (such as lightweightcastables), m

19、eating rate up to 700F(390C)/h is permissible. Generally, a slower heating rate doesnot affect the properties of the specimens adversely. Thus,when smaller and larger specimens are fired together, theheating rate applicable to the larger specimens should be used.NOTE 2Different heating rates are spe

Experimentalevidence indicates that cracking may occur when a castable sample isheated too rapidly. The safe heat-up rate increases with decreasing samp
