Significance and Use 3.1. The cold strength of a refractory material is an indica- tion of its suitability for use in refractory construction. (Itis not measure of performance at elevated temperatures.) 3.2 These test methods are for determining the room tem- perature flexural sitength in 3-point bending (cold modulus of Fupture) or compressive strength (cold crushing strength), ot both, for al refractory products ‘these tat metods are under the juritision of ASTM Commitee C08 08 Refactor and ar he divec respons of Sobcommites C08. os Steg ‘Care edon approve Apel 10, 2003.

The specimen size and shape, the nature of the specimen faces (thet is, a-formed, sawed, or ground), the orientation of those faces during testing, the loading geometry, andthe rate of load application, may all significantly affect the numerical zesults obtained. Comparisons ofthe results between sfferent determinations should not be made if one or more of these parameters differ between the two determinations. 3.4 The relative ratio of the lirgest grain size to the smallest specimen dimension may significantly affect the mumericel results. For example, smaller, cut specimens containing large grains may present different results than the bricks from whieh they were cut. Under no eircumstances should 6- by I- by L-in. (4152. by 25- by 25-mm) specimens be prepared and tested for materials containing grains with a maximum grain dimension exceeding 0.25 in. (64 mm). 3.5 This test method is useful for research and development, engineering application and: design, manufacturing process control, and for developing purchasing specifications.

In preparing specimens fom irregular or large refractory shapes, any method involving the use of abrasives, such 28 a high- speed abrasion wheel, core drill, or rubbing bed, that will produce a specimen with approximately plane and parallel sides without weakening the structure of the specimen may be sed. 52 Insulating Brick or Shapes (typical bulk density of 100 loaf? (1.60 giem*), or greater than 45 % total porosity, or ‘botk}—The test specimens shall be 4% by 41 by 2¥2 or 3 in. {Ud by 11d by 64 or 76 mm), each taken from e different brick. Itis permissible to prepare these specimens from the balf-brick resulting from the modulus of rupture test (see Sections 10-15). The selected compression test section shall be free of cracks, chipped surfaces, and other obvious defects. The test surfaces shall be approximately parallel planes 53 Castable Reftaciores—The test specimens shall be 2- by 2- by Qin, (S1- by 51- by SI-mm)} cubes or cylinders 2 in.

(230- by 51- by Si-mm) bar after the modulus of rupture test (see Sections 10-15). The selected compression test section shall be free of cracks, chipped surfaces, and other obvious defects. The loaded surfaces shall be epproximately parallel planes. All samples must be dried at 220 to 230° (105 to 110°C) for 18 h (overnight). Upon removal from the oven, allow the sample to cool naturally until oo] to the touch. Complete testing within 2 h of removal from the drying oven. (See Practices C 862 and C 1054.) 6.
