PREFACE
This is a free 1 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee MN-007, Refractories
and Refractory Materials, to supersede AS 1774.11—1996.
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (August 2007). The changes required by the
Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the
clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
The content of this Standard arises from an examination of the commercially available
apparatus most commonly used in the industry or of apparatus derived from this. Sample
sizes, in particular, are considered to be of an order amenable to this test in terms of
minimizing test times and optimizing the rate of heat distribution and stabilization
throughout the specimen.
The previous edition has been editorially updated and confirms the method for determining
the linear change of a refractory caused by temperature change.
This test determines the total thermal expansion for a test specimen as well as the reversible
thermal expansion, as appropriate.
The objective of this Standard is to provide those responsible for the testing of refractories
with standardized procedures for measuring the linear change with temperature.
The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard.

METHOD

1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out a method for the determination of the linear change of a refractory
caused by a change in temperature.
This method is intended to determine the expansion characteristics of refractories up to
specified temperatures, and to ascertain the reversibility of these characteristics. It may also
be used to determine the expansion/contraction characteristics of raw materials and
refractories that do not exhibit reversible linear changes with increasing temperature.
NOTE: The maximum temperature at which the test may be conducted is governed by the
materials of manufacture of the test apparatus. For example, when fused silica tubes/rods are
used, the maximum temperature should not exceed 1000°C.
