Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 226, Materials for the production of
primary aluminium.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14428:2005), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes to the previous edition are as follows:
— Clause 8: new calculation concept based on average expansion/shrinkage within newly defined
temperature ranges

Introduction
The expansion/shrinkage of ramming pastes used in the production of aluminium is an important
property, because excessive shrinkage can cause cracks in the baked paste serving as a lining material
in alumina electrolysis cells. These cracks can cause leakage of the liquid bath, destroying the sidewall
lining and the steel shell and thus leading to shutdown of the cell. Ramming pastes change phase from
plastic to non-plastic between 400 °C and 600 °C (200 °C and 300 °C for resin binders). The shrinkage
which occurs between the temperature at which the paste becomes non-plastic and the operating
temperature (950 °C) is an important factor. Apparent shrinkage in the viscous range is due to slumping
rather than actual shrinkage.
