1、Designation: C492 92 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Method forHydration of Granular Dead-Burned Refractory Dolomite1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C492; 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 () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the amountof hydration of a granular dead-burned refractory dolomitewh
3、en exposed to moist air.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to regarded asthe standard. The values given in parentheses are for informa-tion only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of
4、 this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

5、eve Cloth and TestSieves3. Significance and Use3.1 The hydration of dead-burned dolomite grains is animportant aspect of both manufacturing and using such grains.Moisture from any source will cause the grains to partiallydisintegrate, eventually making the dead-burned dolomite unfitfor use. This tes
6、t method may prove useful for determining, ina relative manner, which grains are more resistant to hydrationthan others.3.2 Data from one laboratory might help in establishinginternal limits for determining whether a particular batch ofgrain is suitable for refractory production. However, this testm
7、ethod takes great care to run, and is not recommended as aquality control test. Possibly, a specification might be devel-oped between two parties if sufficient care in establishing thebias between the laboratories is carried out.4. Apparatus4.1 Sieve, ASTM No. 40 (425-m) (equivalent to a 35-meshTyle
8、r Standard Series) conforming to Specification E11, withpan and cover.4.2 Glass Petri Dishes, 95 by 20-mm.4.3 Circulating Hot-Air Oven, capable of operating at 220 to230F (104 to 110C).4.4 Steam-Humidity Cabinet, to be maintained at 160 6 2F(71 6 1C) and 85 6 3 % humidity.34.5 Scale, having a capaci

Then place this dish in a hot-air oven for12h at 220 to 230F (104 to 110C) to prevent condensation ofwat

12、 byabout34 in. (19 mm).6.3 Maintain the steam-humidity cabinet at 160 6 2F (716 1C) and 85 6 3 % humidity for 24 h. The time to reachthese conditions shall be approximately12 h. Then immedi-ately remove the Petri dish from the cabinet and place in a1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM

Each of the three dolomitic materials was tested fourtimes.8.1.2 No ruggedness test was run on this test method priorto conducting t

The 95 % repeat
19、ability intervals are given in Table1. Two test results that do not differ by more than therepeatability interval will be considered to be from the samepopulation, and, conversely, two test results that do differ bymore than the repeatability interval will be considered to befrom different populatio
