Thermal Expansion Measurement of Refractory Materials - Test Method - BS 1902:5
Overview
Determination of the expansion of refractory test bar with temperature by displacement, using a correction for instrumental expansion.
Applications and Benefits
Enables accurate expansion of components to be used in thermo mechanical modelling and plant design. Required for quality control for critical applications.
Industries
All high temperature applications involving refractory materials including:
- Glass, cement, lime, ferrous and non-ferrous production
- Incinerators, power plants, kilns, reactors, petro chemical plants
- Heat treatment.
Form of Results
Measurement of expansion between temperatures as % or graphic representation. Contraction on cooling and cyclical heating can also be conducted.
