1、Designation: C903 151Standard Practice forPreparing Refractory Specimens by Cold Gunning1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C903; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number

2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEEditorial changes were made throughout in April 2016.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a procedure for preparing refractoryspecimens usually containin

3、g calcium aluminate cement withor without metal fibers by cold nozzle-mix gunning. Specimensprepared in accordance with this practice are intended for usein standard ASTM test methods required for evaluating gunnedmaterials.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The

4、 values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to

6、ificance and Use3.1 The properties of refractories can be affected by theirmethod of installation. This practice attempts to minimize thevariables encountered during installation by pneumatic gun-ning.3.2 This practice provides parameters to produce gunnedspecimens for use in other ASTM test methods

7、.3.3 This practice may be used to produce specimens foracceptance testing, service evaluation, manufacturing control,and research and development.3.4 Differences between various kinds of equipment and thedifferences in procedures and operator techniques may result insignificant variations in the phy

8、sical properties of the gunnedspecimens. It is recommended that the same operator use thesame equipment to produce specimens for referee testingagreed to by the involved testing parties. The specific operatingparameters should be shown in the report.3.5 Although this practice is specifically designe

9、d for re-fractories containing calcium aluminate cement, it may be usedwith minor modifications for gun mixes containing other bondsystems.4. Apparatus4.1 Gun, pneumatic nozzle-mix. At least 50 ft (15.2 m) ofhose should be available. Acceptable nozzle diameters rangefrom 1 to 2 in. (25 to 51 mm).4.2

10、 Air Compressor, capable of delivering sufficient pres-sure and volume to adequately move refractory to the gun. Thecompressor should be able to supply at least 250 ft3(7 m3)/min.4.3 Forms, suitable nonabsorbent type, which will vary insize in accordance with the number and size of samples beingprep

11、ared, but are at minimum 12 by 12 by 4 in. (305 by 305 by100 mm). Forms should be sized to prevent rebound entrap-ment. The use of12 inch hardware cloth as sidewalls of theform allows most of the rebound to pass through.5. Procedure5.1 Store the refractory to be gunned at 70 to 85F (20 to27C) for 24

12、 h prior to gunning.5.2 Place the form against a rigid surface at an angle of 80to 90 to the horizontal.5.3 If recommended by the supplier, predampen the refrac-tory by mixing with potable water in a paddle mixer for 1 to 5min or follow manufacturers specific instructions. In general,regular (dense)

13、 refractories require 2 to 4 % of predampeningwater and lightweight (insulating) refractories require 5 to 8 %.NOTE 1Refractories that contain a high-purity cement may benefit by1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C08 on Refractoriesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommit

United States1aging for 5 to 10 min after dampening before gunning.

16、This “agingprocedure should be used if gunning without it produces excessiverebound, dusting, or slumping.NOTE 2Treat refractories containing metal fibers in a normal manner.If metal fibers are to be added to the gunning material, add them to thepaddle mixer before any water is introduced. The amoun

17、t of fiber to beadded and the methods of reporting this amount shall be agreed upon bythe parties involved. To prevent clumping of the fibers they should beadded slowly through a suitable screen of12 in. mesh. Fibers larger than1 in. may require larger openings. If any predampening water is to beadd

18、ed, dry mix for two to three min before adding water.5.4 Gun the refractory into the form at a distance of 3 to 4ft (0.91 to 1.2 m) from gun nozzle. Hold the gun nozzle at 90to the form. Gunning pressures are suggested to be approxi-mately 40 psi (276 kPa) for regular-weight refractories andapproxim

19、ately 20 psi (138 kPa) for insulating refractories. Ifmore than 50 ft (15 m) of hose is used, it may be necessary toadd 5 psi (34 kPa) for each additional 50 ft. These conditionsand the amount of potable water used must be adjusted by thenozzleman for acceptable rebound. The gunning pattern in-volve

20、s moving the nozzle in a circular motion, back and forthacross the form, beginning at the bottom. Report any unusualdusting, slumping, or other unique characteristics of therefractory. The water, material, and environment temperatureshall also be reported.NOTE 3For referee tests all participating la

21、boratories should agree ona specific gun pressure and other test parameters to obtain reproducibleresults. Excessive air pressures and hose lengths may cause changes inproperties of the gunned refractory especially in properties of gunnedinsulating refractories.5.5 Trim the gunned surface approximat

22、ely parallel to theback of the form. See Practice C865 for procedures concerningthe measurement of specimens.5.6 Follow the recommended manufacturers curing instruc-tions. For calcium aluminate bonds, optimum curing tempera-ture is 90 to 95F (32 to 35C) for 24 + 0.5 h.5.7 Cut suitably sized laminati

23、on-free specimens from thecentral section. If excessive tearout of refractory grain occurswhile cutting, it may be necessary to dry the panel first beforecutting (ex. Low Cement Gun Mix). Cut specimen to excludethe portion nearest the backboard to eliminate trapped rebound.Identify the gunned face o

24、r gunning direction on each speci-men since it may influence the results of subsequent tests.5.8 Specimens prepared according to section 5.7 that will beused for further testing shall be placed in a 150F oven; holduntil all specimens have been inserted. Increase temperature ata rate of 50F/h (28C/h)

25、 maximum from 150F to between220 to 230F (105 to 100C) and hold for at least 15 h prior totesting or firing in a prescribed manner.5.9 Determine specific properties by selected test proce-dures.6.
