Abstract

Sets out a method for the determination of permanent linear and volume changes of refractories after drying, firing or reheating. The Standard is applicable to prefired and unfired refractories having either a regular or irregular shape. It is not applicable to carbon-bearing refractories or ceramic fibre products.

Scope

This Standard sets out a method for the determination of permanent linear and volume
changes of refractories after any or all of the following processes:
(a) Drying.
(b) Firing.
(c) Reheating.
This Standard is applicable to prefired and unfired refractories having either a regular or
irregular shape. It is not applicable to carbon-bearing refractories, ceramic fibre products or
mortars.
NOTE: Refer to AS 1774.28 for ceramic fibre products and to AS 1774.22 for mortars.
