ASTM C892 – Standard Specification for High-Temperature Fiber Blanket Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers the standard for high-temperature fiber blanket thermal insulation for use at various temperatures. The insulation should be tested and comply accordingly to physical and mechanical properties of the insulation such as apparent thermal conductivity, density, and temperature of use. …
ASTM C773 – Standard Test Method for Compressive (Crushing) Strength of Fired Whiteware Materials Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Resistance to compression is the measure of the greatest strength of a ceramic material. Ideally, ceramics should be stressed this way in use. This test is a measure of the potential load-bearing usefulness of a ceramic. Scope …
ASTM C695 – Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Carbon and Graphite Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Carbon and graphite can usually support higher loads in compression than in any other mode of stress. This test, therefore, provides a measure of the maximum load-bearing capability of carbon and graphite objects. Scope 1.1 This test method covers …
ASTM C835 – Standard Test Method for Total Hemispherical Emittance of Surfaces up to 1400°C Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The emittance as measured by this test method can be used in the calculation of radiant heat transfer from surfaces that are representative of the tested specimens, and that are within the temperature range of the …
ASTM C832 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thermal Expansion and Creep of Refractories Under Load Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The thermal expansion under load and the 20 to 50 h creep properties of a refractory are useful in characterizing the load-bearing capacity of a refractory that is uniformly heated. Directly applicable examples are blast …
ASTM C767 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Refractories Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The thermal conductivity of carbon refractories is a property required for selecting their thermal transmission characteristics. Users select carbon refractories to provide specified conditions of heat loss and cold-face temperature without exceeding the temperature limitation of the carbon refractory. …
ASTM C618 – Standard Specification for Coal Ash and Raw or Calcined Natural Pozzolan for Use in Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers coal fly ash and raw or calcined natural pozzolan for use in concrete where cementitious or pozzolanic action, or both, is desired, or where other properties normally attributed to fly ash or …
ASTM C611 – Standard Test Method for Electrical Resistivity of Manufactured Carbon and Graphite Articles at Room Temperature Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides a means of determining the electrical resistivity of carbon or graphite specimens. The use of specimens that do not conform to the specimen size limitations described in the test …
ASTM C583 – Standard Test Method for Modulus of Rupture of Refractory Materials at Elevated Temperatures Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Measuring the modulus of rupture of refractories at elevated temperatures has become a widely accepted means to evaluate materials at service temperatures. Many consumer companies have specifications based on this type of test. 3.2 This test …
ASTM C559 – Standard Test Method for Bulk Density by Physical Measurements of Manufactured Carbon and Graphite Articles Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Bulk density as determined by this test method is a basic material property of importance in manufacturing and application of carbon and graphite. 4.2 This test method can be used for quality and process …
