Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Refractory Materials at Room Temperature

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of relative abrasion resistance of refractory brick at room temperature. This test method can also be applied to castable refractories (see Metric Dimensions C861 and Practice C865) and plastic refractories (see Practice C1054).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
1.3  This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
