Refractory materials are subjected to following stress factors:• Thermal - by high temperatures and thermal shock• Mechanical - by pressure, impact, friction and airborne particles • Chemical - by gases, liquids, build-up, slag and melts
The properties of castables and their ability to withstand stresses are determined by:• Raw materials • Particle size distribution• Chemical reaction between raw materials at various temperatures
The properties of refractory castables can be analysed by a range of international test procedures

Bending strength; Modulus of rupture (EN 1402-6)
Cold modulus of ruptureProvides information on material structure (QC)
Hot modulus of ruptureCharacterize the thermodynamic behaviour of the castable

Summary• Castables are subjected to thermal, mechanical and chemical
stresses• Wide range of international test standards to measure properties• Some tests are targeted for quality control • Other tests simulate operation conditions (temperature, chemicals)• Test of corrosive slags can both static and dynamic• Test slags at relevant temperatures• There is a close relationship between porosity and the physical and
chemical properties of castables• When comparing datasheets: Be aware of test-temperature and of to
which temperature has the test specimens been prefired prior to test
