European foreword
This document (EN 993-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 187 “Refractory
products and materials”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 993-1:1995.
It is closely based on the corresponding International Standard, ISO 5017 “Dense shaped refractory
products - Determination of bulk density, apparent porosity and true porosity”.
Reproducibility and repeatability data are available only for a limited number of testing methods and
materials, but may be complemented in subsequent edition.
The series of standards EN 993 'Methods of test for dense shaped refractory products' consists of 20
Parts, some of which have been withdrawn and replaced by equivalent standards:
— Part 1: Determination of bulk density and porosity
— Part 2: Determination of true density
— Part 3: Test methods for carbon-containing refractories
— Part 4: Determination of permeability to gases
— Part 5: Determination of cold crushing strength
— Part 6: Determination of modulus rupture, ambient temperatures
— Part 7: Determination of modulus of rupture, elevated temperatures
— Part 8 Determination of refractoriness under load – withdrawn – replaced by EN ISO 1893
— Part 9: Determination of creep in compression
— Part 10: Determination of permanent change in dimensions on heating
— Part 11: Determination of resistance to thermal shock (ENV)
— Part 12: Determination of pyrometric cone equivalent
— Part 13: Specification for pyrometric cones
— Part 14: Determination of thermal conductivity (hot wire, cross array) – withdrawn – replaced by
EN ISO 8894-1
— Part 15: Determination of thermal conductivity (hot wire, parallel)

1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the bulk density, apparent porosity and true
porosity of dense shaped refractory products.
NOTE For shaped insulating refractory products, the bulk density and true porosity are determined in
accordance with EN 1094-4.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 993-2, Methods of test for dense shaped refractory products — Part 2: Determination of true density
ISO 5022, Shaped refractory products — Sampling and acceptance testing
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
bulk density
ρ
b
ratio of the mass of the dry material of a porous body to its bulk volume, expressed in grams per cubic
centimetre or in kilograms per cubic metre
3.2
bulk volume
V
b
sum of the volumes of the solid material, the open pores and the closed pores in a porous body
Note 1 to entry: The roughness of the surface limits the accuracy of definition of the bulk volume and, in
consequence, of the bulk density. Also, the concept of bulk density becomes less precise when the volume of the
test piece diminishes below certain limits or when its texture (size of pores and grains) is too coarse.
3.3
true density
ρ
t
ratio of the mass of the solid material of a porous body to its true volume, expressed in grams per cubic
centimetre or in kilograms per cubic metre
3.4
true volume
volume of the solid material in a porous body

3.5
open pores
pores that are penetrated by the immersion liquid in the current test
Note 1 to entry: These pores are, in principle, all those that are connected with the atmosphere, either directly
or via one another. Here also the roughness of the surface imposes a limit to the accuracy of the definition of the
volume of the open pores.
3.6
closed pores
pores that are not penetrated by the immersion liquid in the current test
3.7
apparent porosity
π
a
ratio of the total volume of the open pores in a porous body to its bulk volume, expressed as a
percentage of the bulk volume
3.8
closed porosity
π
c
ratio of the total volume of the closed pores in a porous body to its bulk volume, expressed as a
percentage of the bulk volume
3.9
true porosity
π
t
ratio of the total volume of the open and closed pores to the bulk volume of the material, expressed as a
percentage
Note 1 to entry: Consequently, the true porosity is the sum of the apparent porosity and the closed porosity.
3.10
dense shaped refractory product
product with specific dimensions, having a true porosity of less than 45 % by volume, when measured
