Standard Test Method for Corrosion Resistance of Refractories to Molten Glass Using the Basin Furnace (Withdrawn 2000)
SCOPE
1.1 This test method measures the attack on refractories by molten glass under conditions intended to simulate glass-contact service by exposing one face of the refractory to be tested to molten glass while a temperature gradient is maintained through the refractory. Note 1-Since the test method is intended primarily for soda-lime-silica glasses, some modification of the conditions, procedure, or apparatus may be required for other compositional systems.
1.2 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems 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.
