1、Designation: C987 10 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forVapor Attack on Refractories for Furnace Superstructures1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C987; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the ye

2、ar of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for comparing thebehavior of refractories in contact with vapors under condi

3、tionsintended to simulate the environment within a glass melting orother type of furnace when refractories are exposed to vaporsfrom raw batch, molten glass, fuel, fuel contaminants, or othersources. This procedure is intended to accelerate serviceconditions for the purpose of determining in a relat

No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standa

5、rd 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 establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 Thi

6、s test method provides a guide for evaluating theresistance of refractories in glass melting furnace superstruc-tures to vapor attack. This test method may also be useful forevaluating refractories in other applications where vapor attackoccurs.2.2 An electric-heated furnace is recommended. Water va

7、-por and other atmospheric components in a gas- or fuel-firedfurnace may participate in the chemical and physical reactionsbeing studied. Results may differ, therefore, depending uponthe nature and type of firing employed.2.3 The degree of correlation between this test method andservice performance

8、is not fully determinable. This is intendedto be an accelerated test method that generates a substantialdegree of reaction in a relatively short amount of time. Thisacceleration may be accomplished by changing the composi-tion and/or concentration of the reactants, increasingtemperatures, or by perf

9、orming the test in an isothermalenvironment.2.4 Since the test method may not accurately simulate theservice environment, observed results of this test method maynot be representative of those found in service. It is imperativethat the user understand and consider how the results of thistest method

10、may differ from those encountered in service. Thisis particularly likely if the reaction products, their nature, ortheir degree differ from those normally found in the actualservice environment.2.5 It is incumbent upon the user to understand that this isan aggressive, accelerated test method and to

11、be careful ininterpreting the results. If, for example, the reaction specieshave never been found in a real world furnace, then this testmethod should not necessarily be considered valid to evaluatethe refractory in question.3. Apparatus3.1 The crucible for containing the reactant shall be a denseal

12、umina or platinum crucible of conical shape with dimensionsof 43 mm in diameter at top, 33 mm in diameter at bottom, and53 mm high.3.2 The crucible-cover assembly (Fig. 1) may be supportedwithin a suitable refractory holding crucible (Fig. 2) such asmullite to maintain the position of the cover, if

13、an excessiveamount of glass phase reaction product is anticipated.3.3 The electric heating chamber shall be of sufficient sizeto accommodate at least three assemblies for comparativeevaluation. The temperature control system shall be capable ofmaintaining a desired holding temperature with a toleran

Specimen Preparation4.1 The test specimen shall conform to the followingdimensions with major faces cut or ground parallel and flat toform a tight seal with top of crucible:4.1.1 Length, 55 6 2 mm,4.1.2 Width, 55 6 2 mm, and4.1.3 Thickness, 20 6 1.0 mm.4.2 SelectionUse specimens that are

17、test.4.3 Three specimens of a refractory brand shall constitute atest.5. Procedure5.1 The reactant shall be selected such that the vaporgenerated during the test is similar to the vapor encountered inservice. Some reactants that have been found suitable for thispurpose are: carbonates, sulphates, bo

18、rates, and halides.5.2 For comparative evaluations, a consistent weight ofreactant is to be used. The level of the reactant is not to exceed40 % of the depth of the crucible in order to avoid contactbetween the molten reactant and the specimen. An example ofa suitable quantity of reactant is 12.5 g

19、of technical gradesodium carbonate.5.2.1 Use molar equivalents for alternative reactants provid-ing that the level of this reactant does not exceed 40 % of thecrucible depth.5.2.2 The test temperature shall be appropriate to thereactant and the environment to be simulated. For example, atemperature

20、of 1370C has been found to give measurableresults when using a sodium carbonate reactant.5.3 Place a weighed amount of reactant in a crucible.5.4 Assemble the crucible and the specimen, and place it ona level furnace hearth. An assembly having a test specimenwith a silica content greater than 50 % s

21、hould be placed in aholding crucible to prevent disorientation by glass phasedevelopment (see Fig. 2).5.5 A consistent heating rate of 2 to8htotest temperatureand a duration of 24 h at temperature shall constitute the test.Allow the crucible assembly to cool in a manner that preventsthermal shock.5.
