Full title and description

ISO 10059-2:2003 — Dense, shaped refractory products — Determination of cold compressive strength — Part 2: Test with packing. This International Standard specifies an alternative test method (using packing/interleaving plates) for measuring the cold compressive (cold crushing) strength of dense shaped refractories.

Abstract

ISO 10059-2:2003 describes the principle, apparatus, test pieces and procedure for determining the cold compressive strength of dense shaped refractory products using a packing (interleaf) arrangement as an alternative to the referee (without packing) method. The document gives the expression of results and reporting requirements appropriate to this test method.

Scope

This part of ISO 10059 specifies a method for determining the cold compressive strength of dense, shaped refractory products using packing/interleaving plates between specimen and platens. It is intended as an alternative to the referee method without packing and applies to dense shaped refractories for which cold compressive strength at ambient temperature is a relevant property.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of test principle and purpose (cold compressive strength measurement using packing).
• Apparatus and fixture requirements (platens, packing/interleaf materials and dimensions).
• Specimen preparation, orientation and conditioning prior to test.
• Test procedure: loading rate, alignment, use of packing, and how to record maximum load.
• Calculation and expression of results (reporting strength values, units, and relevant test conditions).
• Test report contents and statistical reporting recommendations.

Typical use and users

Used by refractory manufacturers, quality-control and testing laboratories, materials engineers, R&D teams and procurement/specification writers who need a standardized method to evaluate and compare cold compressive strength of dense shaped refractories. National standards bodies and conformity assessment bodies also reference this method when specifying mechanical property requirements for refractories.

Related standards

ISO 10059 is a multipart series. The principal related document is ISO 10059-1 (Referee test without packing — originally ISO 10059-1:1992), which covers the referee (without packing) test method; that part has been subject to later revision activity (newer edition references appear on national catalogues). Other related standards cover complementary physical-property tests for refractories (for example standards on modulus of rupture, bulk density and porosity).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10059-2:2003 is an ISO International Standard that defines a test method (using packing/interleaves) for determining the cold compressive strength of dense shaped refractory products.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers apparatus, specimen preparation, the step-by-step test procedure using packing/interleaves, calculation of strength and the required information to be given in the test report — as an alternative to the referee test without packing.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Refractory manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, materials engineers, R&D and quality-control personnel, plus standards committees and purchasers specifying mechanical properties for refractories.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10059-2:2003 is published and — according to ISO's review lifecycle — has been subject to periodic review. Users should check their national standards body or ISO catalogue for any very recent confirmation or revision notices; as of the ISO catalogue entry for this part it remains the 2003 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10059 is a multipart series addressing cold compressive strength of dense shaped refractories. Part 1 covers the referee (without packing) method (historically ISO 10059-1:1992, later revised), and Part 2 is the packing/interleaf method defined here. Consult the ISO catalogue or national standards bodies for the current status of related parts.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: cold compressive strength, cold crushing strength, dense shaped refractories, packing test, interleaves, ISO 10059-2, mechanical testing, test method.
