This standard outlines a method for determining the thermal expansion of refractory materials when subjected to high temperatures. It is specifically designed for large test pieces, ensuring accurate assessment of materials used in high-temperature industrial applications.
Key Aspects Covered:
Applicability:
Relevant for all types of refractory materials used in high-temperature environments (e.g., furnaces, kilns, reactors).
Ensures that materials maintain their structural integrity when exposed to thermal stress.
Thermal Expansion Measurement:
Evaluates dimensional changes as the material is heated over a specific temperature range.
Helps predict thermal stability and potential deformation under operational conditions.
Test Methodology:
Specifies the equipment, sample preparation, and testing conditions to ensure standardized and repeatable results.
Covers temperature limits, measurement techniques, and calibration procedures for accurate expansion data.
Industrial Relevance:
Supports quality control, research, and material selection for refractory applications in industries such as metallurgy, ceramics, and power generation.
Assists engineers in predicting material performance and preventing failure due to excessive expansion.
