Derivatives from coal pyrolysis - Coal tar and pitch based binders and related products : refractory binders - Characteristics and test methods

This European Standard specifies the methods of test required to determine the characteristics for viscous  "refractory binders" used as industrial binders.
Depending on the required application and the desired properties of the end product, different grades on refractory binders are available.
Note that carbon binder pitch as described under prEN 14263 can be used for refractory products as well.

Derivate der Kohlenpyrolyse - Bindemittel aus Steinkohlenteer und Steinkohlenteerpech und verwandte Produkte: Feuerfestbindemittel - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahrung

Diese Europäische Norm legt Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Eigenschaften von viskosen "Feuerfestbindemittel" für industrielle Zwecke fest.
Abhängig von der geforderten Anwendung und den gewünschten Eigenschaften des Endproduktes sind unterschiedliche Klassen von Feuerfestbindemitteln erhältlich.
Es ist zu beachten, dass Bindepech für Kohlenstoffprodukte, wie in prEN 14263 beschrieben, ebenfalls als Feuerfestprodukte verwendet werden können.

Produits dérivés de la pyrolyse du charbon - Liants a base de goudron et de brai issus de la houille et produits connexes : liants réfractaires - Caractéristiques et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne prescrit les méthodes d'essai nécessaires à la détermination des caractéristiques des  liants réfractaires visqueux utilisés comme liants industriels.
Il existe différentes catégories de liants réfractaires en fonction de l'utilisation demandée et des propriétés recherchées pour le produit fini.
A noter que les brais liants pour pièces carbonées décrits dans le prEN 14263 peuvent également être utilisés comme produits réfractaires.

Overview

EN 14261:2003 (CEN) defines the test methods and required characteristics for viscous refractory binders derived from coal pyrolysis - principally coal tar and pitch based binders and related products. The standard specifies how to determine key physical and chemical properties used for quality control and product specification of refractory-grade binders. It notes that different grades are available depending on application and that carbon binder pitch described in prEN 14263 may also be used for refractory products.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope: Methods of test for viscous refractory binders used as industrial binders.
• Characteristics to be measured:
  • Water content (ISO 5939)
  • Density (EN ISO 3838)
  • Efflux time (BRTA, STV - EN 13357)
  • Distillation (BS 76:1974 appendix D)
  • Softening point of distillation residue (ISO 5940)
  • Coking value (ISO 6998)
  • Naphthalene fraction (NF T 66-029)
• Sampling: Methods for sampling and sample preparation are referenced to ISO 6257.
• Specifications: Customer requirements apply; Annex A provides typical values that can be used as requirements, for example:
  • Water content: < 0.5%
  • Density: > 1.1 g/cm3
  • Softening point (residue): 60–120 °C
  • Coking value: > 10%
  • Naphthalene content: < 5%
• Test method mapping: Table 1 of the standard links each characteristic to a referenced test method (see Related Standards).

Applications and Who Uses This Standard

EN 14261:2003 is used by:

• Refractory binder manufacturers for production control and product grading.
• Quality control and testing laboratories verifying binder characteristics.
• Refractory product makers (e.g., precast refractory shapes, ramming mixes, mortars) specifying binder inputs.
• Procurement and specification writers creating technical purchase requirements.
• R&D teams developing or reformulating coal-tar and pitch binders for high-temperature applications.

Practical benefits include consistent quality assessment, clearer supplier-customer specifications, and harmonized testing across European markets.

Related Standards

Key normative references cited in EN 14261:2003 include:

• EN 13847 (Terminology and classification)
• EN 1427 (Ring-and-Ball softening point)
• EN 13357 (Efflux time methods)
• EN ISO 3838 (Density)
• ISO 5939, ISO 5940, ISO 6257, ISO 6998
