AboutRefractory Material Testing

• This test helps in determining the deformation
  behavior of refractory ceramic products subjected
  to a constant load and increasing temperature.
• Creep Test
• Creep testing of materials at high
  temperatures is a very important field of study
  at many levels of industry.  Accurate high
  temperature creep data is absolutely essential
  for the proper design and construction of any
  structural element operating at elevated
  temperatures.  As such, ways of improving upon
  conventional creep testing methods at high
  temperature are highly sought after.

• Cold Crushing Strength
• This test helps in determining the strength
  of a brick. It tells us how much load that
  refractory can bear in cold conditions. The
  concept of testing CCS of a refractory material
  has perhaps, come from metallurgy. This is
  because for any refractory brick it is rather
  rare that it would fail simply due to load on it
  in cold condition and therefore, the
  determination of cold crushing strength does not
  appear to be important from that point of view.
• Refractory materials must maintain dimensional
  stability under extreme temperatures (including
  repeated thermal cycling) and constant corrosion
  from very hot liquids and gases. The standard for
  refractory materials restricts compressive creep
  (deformation at a given time and temperature
  under stress) for normal working conditions to no
  more than 0.3 percent in the first 50 hours.
