Abstract

Sets out a method for the determination of permanent linear and volume changes of refractories after drying, firing or reheating. The Standard is applicable to prefired and unfired refractories having either a regular or irregular shape. It is not applicable to carbon-bearing refractories or ceramic fibre products.
