Full title and description

ISO 10060:1993 — Dense, shaped refractory products — Test methods for products containing carbon. This International Standard specifies laboratory test methods for dense, shaped refractory shapes that contain residual carbon (for example pitch-bonded, resin-bonded or pitch-impregnated refractories), describing procedures to determine physical properties before and after removal of volatile components by carbonization.

Abstract

ISO 10060:1993 defines test procedures for evaluating the physical properties of dense shaped refractory products that contain residual carbon. The methods cover preparation of test pieces, carbonization (removal of volatile components), and subsequent determination of properties such as density, porosity, permeability and strength-related measurements as appropriate for carbon-containing refractories.

Scope

This standard applies to dense, shaped refractory products that contain residual carbon, the remainder being essentially sintered or fused doloma, magnesia or mixtures of such materials. It specifies test methods for determining relevant physical properties both before and after carbonization (the controlled removal of volatile components), and is intended for use where carbon-containing bonding or impregnation influences performance.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of product types: pitch-bonded, pitch-bonded tempered, resin-bonded, resin-bonded tempered and pitch-impregnated refractories.
• Requirements for preparation and sizing of test pieces (cutting, drilling, orientation relative to pressing).
• Carbonization procedure: controlled heating to remove volatiles while retaining residual carbon, including apparatus and temperature/time guidance.
• Measurement of physical properties before and after carbonization — bulk density, apparent/true porosity, permeability to gases and strength-related determinations.
• Reference to complementary/referenced test standards for specific determinations (e.g., cold compressive strength, permeability, modulus of rupture).
• Reporting requirements: specification of any deviations in test-piece size/geometry, test conditions and carbonization details in test reports.

Typical use and users

ISO 10060:1993 is used by materials and quality-control laboratories, refractory manufacturers, research and development groups, metallurgical plants and end-users of refractories (steel, non-ferrous metallurgy, cement and glass industries) for verifying product conformance, comparing formulations and assessing performance effects of carbon-containing binders or impregnants.

Related standards

ISO 10060:1993 references and is normally used alongside other refractory test standards such as ISO 10059 (cold compressive strength procedures for dense shaped refractories), ISO 5014 (determination of modulus of rupture), ISO 5017 (bulk density, apparent and true porosity), and ISO 8841 (determination of permeability to gases). It forms part of the suite of standards prepared by ISO/TC 33 (Refractories).
