Standard Test Method for Drying and Firing Linear Change of Refractory Plastic and Ramming Mix Specimens

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the drying shrinkage and of the combined drying and linear change of ramming and plastic refractories.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are provided for information only.  
1.3  This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
