Creep in Compression of Refractory Products Test Method

Determination of Creep in Compression of Refractory Products - Test Method - BS EN 993-9:1997

Title

Methods of test for dense shaped refractory products. Determination of creep in compression.

Overview

Creep in compression is the isothermal deformation of a compressive stressed product as a function of time.

Principle

A test piece is submitted to a constant load and then heated under specified conditions to a given temperature. The deformation of the test piece is recorded and the percentage change evaluated as a function of time.
