Standard Test Method for Reheat Change of Refractory Brick
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the permanent linear change of refractory brick when heated under prescribed conditions.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. Note 1-Test methods incorporating additional provisions pertinent to specific refractory materials are given in the following Test Methods: C179, C210, C436, and C605.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, 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.
