Significance and Use3.1 Apparent porosity, water absorption, apparent specificgravity, and bulk density are primary properties of refractoryshape

9、s. These properties are widely used in the evaluation andcomparison of product quality and as part of the criteria forselection and use of refractory products in a variety ofindustrial applications. These test methods are used for deter-mining any or all of these properties and are particularly usef

10、ulfor testing hydratable products.3.2 These test methods are primary standard methods thatare suitable for use in quality control, research anddevelopment, establishing criteria for and evaluating compli-ance with specifications, and providing data for design pur-poses.3.3 Fundamental assumptions in

11、herent in these test methodsare:3.3.1 The test specimens conform to the requirements forsize, configuration, and original faces,3.3.2 The open pores of the test specimens are fully impreg-nated with liquid during the vacuum-pressure treatment, and3.3.3 The blotting of the saturated test specimens is

12、 per-formed as specified in a consistent and uniform manner toavoid withdrawing liquid from the pores.3.3.4 Deviation from any of these assumptions adverselyaffects the test results.3.4 In laboratory studies involving castable specimen, a biaswas noted between formed222in.(505050mm)andspecimens quar

16、s1water as a saturation media. The error was attributed toreactivity of cement with water and subsequent re-hydration ofcement phases. The higher the cement level of the castable, thegreater the error noted. It was concluded that an error inporosity values could occur for refractory materials having

17、 apotential to form hydrated species with water.Testing under thesame conditions in kerosene produced results that were be-lieved to be more accurate, but the data suggested that thekerosene might not have saturated the open pores of castspecimen as readily as water.33.5 Certain precautions must be

18、exercised in interpretingand using results from these test methods. All four propertyvalues are interrelated by at least two of the three base datavalues generated during testing. Thus, an error in any base datavalue will cause an error in at least three of the property valuesfor a given test specim

Certain of the properties, that is,apparent specific gravity and bulk density, are functions ofother factors such as product composition, compositionalvariability within the same product, impervious porosity, andtotal porosity.

(228-mm) straight brick, use aquarter-brick specimen obtained by halving the brick along aplane parallel to the 9 by 212 or 3-in. (228 by 64 or 76-mm)face and along a plane parallel to the 412 by 212 or 3-in. (114by 6

23、4 or 76-mm) face. Four of the surfaces of the resultantquarter-brick specimen include part of the original moldedfaces.4.2 When testing other refractory shapes, cut drill, or breakfrom each shape a specimen having a volume of approximately25 to 30 in.3(410 to 490 cm3). The specimen shall includeinte

24、rior and exterior portions of the shape.4.3 Remove all loosely adhering particles from each speci-men.5. Procedures5.1 Determination of Dry Weight, D:5.1.1 Dry the test specimens to constant weight by heatingto 220 to 230F (105 to 110C) and determine the dry weight,D, in grams to the nearest 0.1 g.5

25、.1.2 The drying procedure may be omitted only when thetest specimens are known to be dry, as may be the case withsamples taken directly from kilns.5.1.3 The drying of the specimens to constant weight andthe determination of their dry weight may be done either beforeor after the saturation operation

26、(5.2). Usually, the dry weightis determined before saturation; if, however, the specimens arefriable or evidence indicates that particles have broken looseduring the saturating operation, dry and weigh the specimensafter the suspended weight, S, and the saturated weight, W,have been determined as de

27、scribed in 5.3 and 5.4. Use thissecond dry weight in all appropriate calculations.5.2 SaturationPlace the test specimens in a suitablevacuum-pressure vessel (Note 2) which shall be closed,secured, and pumped down to an absolute pressure of not morethan 1.9 in. Hg (6.4 kPa). Hold this pressure for 30

28、 min.Allowthe water or mineral spirits (see 1.2) to enter the vessel whilemaintaining the vacuum for 5 min. Then close the vacuum lineand pressurize the vessel by means of compressed air or apressure pump. Maintain this pressure at 30 psi (207 kPa) ormore for 60 min. Then release the pressure; the s

29、aturatedspecimens are now ready for weighing.NOTE 2The vacuum-pressure vessel should be capable of withstand-ing an absolute pressure of 1.0 in. Hg (3.4 kPa) or a pressure of 65 to 70psi (448 to 483 kPa) without deforming or rupturing. It should be providedwith gages or manometers for indicating vac

30、uum or pressure and a reliefvalve, as well as vacuum, pressure, and liquid lines. The liquid may beintroduced at the bottom, in which case a dual-acting valve will suffice forboth filling and draining the vessel.5.3 Determination of Suspended Weight, S:5.3.1 Determine the weight, S, of each test spe

31、cimen ingrams to the nearest 0.1 g after saturation and while suspendedin liquid.5.3.2 This weighing is usually accomplished by suspendingthe specimen in a loop or halter of AWG Gage-22 (0.643-mm)copper wire hung from one arm of the balance. The balanceshall be previously counter-balanced with the w

32、ire in place andimmersed in liquid to the same depth as is used when therefractory specimens are in place.5.4 Determination of Saturated Weight, WAfter determin-ing the suspended weight, blot each specimen lightly with amoistened smooth linen or cotton cloth to remove all drops ofliquid from the sur

33、face, and determine the saturated weight, W,in grams to the nearest 0.1 g by weighing in air. Perform theblotting operation by rolling the specimen lightly on the wetcloth, which has previously been saturated with liquid, andthen press only enough to remove such liquid as will drip fromthe cloth. Ex

34、cessive blotting will induce error by withdrawingliquid from the pores of the specimen.5.5 Determination of Exterior Volume, VObtain thevolume, V, of the test specimens in cubic centimetres bysubtracting the suspended weight from the saturated weight,both in grams, as follows:V,cm35 W 2 S (1)NOTE 3T

35、his assumes that 1 cm3of water weighs 1 g. This is truewithin about 3 parts in 1000 for water at room temperature.NOTE 4When substituting mineral spirits for water, make the follow-ing correction:3Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Res

Calculation6.1 As noted in 1.2, when mineral spirits is substituted forwater, a

38、ppropriate corrections for the density difference be-tween the liquids are required in the calculations. Thus, theequations used when the liquid is mineral spirits differ fromthose used when the liquid is water. To avoid confusion andintermingling of equations, the calculations used for eachliquid a

39、re presented in separate sections (see Sections 7 and 8).6.2 When the liquid is water, calculation of the variousvolumes and properties is straightforward, as in Test MethodsC20. The assumption is taken that 1 cm3of water weighs 1 g.This is true within about 3 parts per 1000 at room temperature.Ther

40、efore, no corrections for change in water density withchange in temperature are applied in any calculations.However, use of the 1 g/cm3factor is implicit in all calcula-tions where direct weight measurements are converted tovolumes. This affects expression of the results in the properunit of measure

41、, that is, cm3.6.3 When the liquid is mineral spirits, correction for thedensity difference between mineral spirits and water is requiredin all calculations where direct weight measurements areconverted to volumes. The correction factor is:density of liquid (g/cm3)Use of this factor in calculations

42、also affects expression ofthe results in the proper unit of measure, that is, g/cm3.7. Calculation When Liquid is Water7.1 Volume Calculations:7.1.1 Determination of Exterior Volume, VThe exteriorvolume of the test specimen is its bulk volume, including allsolid material, open pores, and impervious

43、portions. CalculateV in cubic centimetres by subtracting the suspended weightfrom the saturated weight, both in grams, as follows:V,cm35 W 2 S (7)7.1.2 Determination of Volume of Open Pores and Volumeof Impervious PortionsCalculate the volume of open poresand the volume of impervious portions in the

44、 test specimen incubic centimetres as follows:Volume of open pores, cm35 W 2 D (8)Volume of impervious portions, cm35 D 2 S (9)7.2 Property Calculations:7.2.1 Apparent Porosity, PThe apparent porosity ex-presses as a percentage the relationship of the volume of openpores in the test specimen to its

45、exterior volume. Calculate P asfollows:P ,%5 W 2 D!/V# 3100 (10)7.2.2 Water Absorption, Aw The water absorption ex-presses as a percentage the relationship of the weight of waterabsorbed to the weight of the dry test specimen. Calculate Awas follows:Aw,%5 W 2 D!/D# 3100 (11)7.2.3 Apparent Specific G

46、ravity, TThe apparent specificgravity of the test specimen is the quotient of its dry weightdivided by its volume of impervious portions. Since the resultexpresses a type of specific gravity value, it is given that thevalue obtained for T has already been divided by the assumeddensity of water, ther

47、eby rendering the result unitless. Calcu-late T as follows:T 5 D/D 2 S (12)7.2.4 Bulk Density, BThe bulk density of the test speci-men in grams per cubic centimetre is the quotient of its dryweight divided by its exterior volume. Calculate B as follows:B, g/cm35 D/V (13)NOTE 6This test method for de

48、termining bulk density is useful forchecking bulk density values obtained by the direct measurement methoddescribed in Test Methods C134. While this test method is more accuratethan the direct measurement method, the latter is better suited for plantand field testing since it is a less involved tech

49、nique. The present testmethod is preferable for specimens that are deeply branded or are irregularin contour.8.
