Significance and Us
6、e3.1 The ability of a refractory shapes to withstand pre-scribed loads at elevated temperatures is a measure of thehigh-temperature service potential of the material. By defini-tion, refractory shapes must resist change due to high tempera-ture; and the ability to withstand deformation or shape chan
7、gewhen subjected to significant loading at elevated temperaturesis clearly demonstrated when refractory shapes are subjected tothis test method. The test method is normally run at sufficientlyhigh temperature to allow some liquids to form within the testbrick or to cause weakening of the bonding sys
8、tem. The resultis usually a decrease in sample dimension parallel to theapplied load and increase in sample dimensions perpendicularto the loading direction. Occasionally, shear fracture can occur.Since the test provides easily measurable changes in dimen-sions, prescribed limits can be established,
9、 and the test methodhas been long used to determine refractory quality. The testmethod has often been used in the establishment of writtenspecifications between producers and consumers.3.2 This test method is not applicable for refractory mate-rials that are unstable in an oxidizing atmosphere unles

It may be constructed in accordance with Fig.1 or Fig. 2 or their equivalent.34.1.1 The furnace shall be so constructed that the tempera-ture is substantially unifor
11、m in all parts of the furnace. Thetemperature as measured at any point on the surface of the testspecimens shall not differ by more than 10F (5.5C) duringthe holding period of the test or, on test to failure, above2370F (1300C). To accomplish this, it may be necessary toinstall and adjust baffles wi
12、thin the furnace. A minimum of twoburners shall be used. If difficulty is encountered in followingthe low-temperature portion of the schedule (particularly forsilica brick), a dual-burner system is recommended, one tosupply heat for low temperatures and another for the highertemperatures.4.2 The tem
13、perature shall be measured either with cali-brated4,5,6platinum - platinum - rhodium thermocouples, eachencased in a protection tube with the junction not more than 1in. (25 mm) from the center of the side or edge of eachspecimen or with a calibrated4,5,6pyrometer. A recording formof temperature ind
14、icator is recommended. If the optical pyrom-eter is used, observations shall be made by sighting on the faceof the specimens and in the same relative positions as thosespecified for the thermocouples.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C08 onRefractories and is the direct r

Test Specimen5.1 The test specimen shall consist of a minimum of two 9by 412 by 212 or 3-in. (228 by 114 by 64 or 76

20、asured before testing, fourobservations being made on each dimension (length, width,and thickness), at the center of the faces to within 60.02 in.(0.5 mm). The average dimensions shall be recorded, and thecross section calculated.6. Setting the Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen, set on end, shall o
21、ccupy a position inthe furnace so that the center line of the applied load coincideswith the vertical axis of the specimen as indicated in Fig. 1 andFig. 2 and shall rest on a block of some highly refractorymaterial, neutral to the specimen, having a minimum expansionor contraction (Note 1). There s
22、hall be placed between thespecimen and the refractory blocks a thin layer of highlyrefractory material such as fused alumina, silica, or chromeore, that has been ground to pass a No. 20 (850-m) ASTMsieve (equivalent to a 20-mesh Tyler Standard Series). At thetop of the test specimen a block of simil

The use of a flue system with eitherdesign is optional.NOTE 2Gross errors which may more than double the deformationwill result if the specimen is not set perpendicular to the base of thesupport or if the load is applied eccentrically.7. Procedure7.
26、1 LoadingCalculate the gross load to be appliedthroughout the test from the average cross section of theoriginal specimen as determined in 5.3. Apply a load of 25 psi(172 kPa), before heating is started. When testing specimensthat are likely to fail by shear, make provision so that theloading mechan
27、ism cannot drop more than12 in. (13 mm)when failure occurs.7.2 HeatingThe rate of heating shall be in accordancewith the requirements prescribed in Table 1. The temperatureshall not vary more than 620F (11C) from the specifiedtemperature.7.3 Furnace AtmosphereAbove a temperature of 1470F(800C) the f
28、urnace atmosphere shall contain a minimum of0.5 % oxygen with 0 % combustibles. Take the atmospheresample from the furnace chamber proper, preferably as near thetest specimen as possible.7.4 Completion of Test and Report7.4.1 Include in the report the designation of the specimenstested (manufacturer
29、, brand, description, etc.). Note, if appli-cable, specimen preparation procedures, character of the faces(cut, ground, as-pressed, as-cast, etc.), and pretreatments (cur-ing, firing, coking, etc.).7.4.2 When a shear test is completed by failure of thespecimens, report the temperature of shear. At t
30、he expiration ofa test that does not involve shearing of the specimens, allow thefurnace to cool by radiation to 1830F (1000C) or lowerbefore the load is removed and the specimens are examined.After cooling the test specimens to room temperature, re-measure them for length in accordance with 5.3. Ca
31、lculate andreport the average percent deformation, based on the originallength, as the average value of the two specimens.NOTE 3It is recommended that a photograph be made of the speci-mens before and after testing to provide useful information.8.
