6、est method is used to measure the rate of flow ofair or nitrogen through refractory brick and monoliths and tothus determine the permeability of tested products.3.2 This test method is useful in research and developmentfor establishing the relative permeability of products withincomparable classes.

7、It may also be used to identify acceptableproducts for design purposes and to establish permeabilitycriteria for specification acceptance.3.3 It must be recognized that permeability can vary indifferent directions and different parts of a refractory due tofactors such as forming procedure, grain siz

This may be accomplishedby taking readings with an impermeable material in thespecimen holder or by utilizing flowmeters in the line ahead ofthe test specimen.6.2 Place the specimen in the rubber gasket, and enclose itbetween the t

20、wo halves of the gasket holder. Force the halvesof the gasket holder together to seal the specimen in the gasket.6.3 Pass dried air (or nitrogen) through the specimen toproduce a differential pressure across the specimen of 240 mmHg (32.0 kPa) and measure the rate of air (or nitrogen) flow.Measure t

22、the rate of air flow does not exceed 9000 cm3/min when thedifferential pressure across the specimen is 240 mm Hg.6.5 If the air (or nitrogen) flow exceeds 9000 cm3/min whenthe differential pressure across the specimen is 240 mm Hg,measure the rate of flow at differential pressures of 240, 140,and 70

23、 mm (2.3, 1.4, and 0.7 kPa) of water.6.6 On specimens where directional permeability is to bedetermined, test the two remaining specimen orientations.7. Calculation7.1 When using air, calculate the permeability in centidar-cys (Note) at room temperature, using one of the formulasbelow which depend o

24、n the type of manometer used. Ifnitrogen is used as the permeating medium, the permeability ascalculated by either of the formulas should be decreased by5 %, since the viscosity of nitrogen at room temperature isapproximately 5 % lower than that of air.NOTE 1One centidarcy is a flow of 0.01 cm3/s of

Precision and Bias59.1 Interlaboratory DataAn interlaboratory round robinwas conducted in which seven laboratories each tested fourspecimens from two different t

29、ypes of refractory materials.Results were published in 1993 Research Report No. 1378.Each laboratory performed two trials on each specimen todetermine the permeability in centidarcys. The components ofvariance from this study expressed as standard deviation andrelative standard deviation are given i

30、n Table 1. Refer toPractice C 1095 for calculating precision data on refractoriesfrom interlaboratory test results.9.2 Precision:9.2.1 RepeatabilityThe maximum permissible differencedue to test error between two test results obtained by oneoperator on the same material using the same test equipment

31、isgiven by the repeatability interval and the relative repeatabilityinterval (coefficient of variation). The 95 % repeatability inter-vals are given in Table 1. Two test results which do not differby more than the repeatability interval will be considered to befrom the same population; and, converse

32、ly, two test resultswhich do differ by more than the repeatability interval will beconsidered to be from different populations.9.2.2 ReproducibilityThe maximum permissible differ-ence due to test error between two test results obtained by twooperators in different laboratories on the same material u

33、singthe same test equipment is given by the reproducibility intervaland the relative reproducibility interval (coefficient of varia-tion). The 95 % reproducibility intervals are given in Table 1.Two test results which do not differ by more than thereproducibility interval will be considered to be fr

34、om the samepopulation; and, conversely, two test results which do differ bymore than the reproducibility interval will be considered to befrom different populations.9.3 BiasNo justifiable statement on bias is possible sincethe true physical property values of refractories cannot beestablished by an
