Full title and description

ISO 10081-2:2003 — Classification of dense shaped refractory products — Part 2: Basic products containing less than 7 % residual carbon. This International Standard specifies the classification and designation of dense shaped basic refractory products (with or without antioxidant additives), excluding products that contain 7 % or more residual carbon after coking.

Abstract

ISO 10081-2:2003 defines categories, designations and basic identification data for dense shaped basic refractory products that contain less than 7 % residual carbon. The classification applies to products with or without metal plates and reinforcement and is intended to harmonize product descriptions used by manufacturers, purchasers and testing organisations. A technical corrigendum (ISO 10081-2:2003/Cor 1:2008) was issued to correct/clarify limited technical points.

Scope

This part of ISO 10081 specifies the classification and designation of dense shaped basic refractory products that contain less than 7 % residual carbon after coking. It is applicable to basic (alkaline) dense shapes with or without antioxidant additives and to products that may include metal plates or reinforcement; products with ≥7 % residual carbon are covered in other parts of the ISO 10081 series.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification scheme for dense shaped basic refractory products by composition and residual carbon content.
• Designation rules to provide unambiguous product identification for trade, specification and testing.
• Applicability to products with antioxidant additives and to items incorporating metal plates or reinforcement.
• Exclusion of products containing 7 % or more residual carbon (these are treated in other parts of ISO 10081).
• Updates and corrections handled via a published corrigendum (2008).

Typical use and users

Used by refractory manufacturers, material suppliers, specification engineers, quality-control and testing laboratories, procurement specialists in steel, non-ferrous and other high-temperature industries, and standards committees. The classification assists in procurement specifications, product comparison, inventory coding and conformity assessment.

Related standards

ISO 10081 is a multipart series; related parts include ISO 10081-1:2003 (Alumina‑silica products) and ISO 10081-3:2003 (basic products containing from 7 % to 50 % residual carbon). A technical corrigendum for part 2 was published in 2008 (ISO 10081-2:2003/Cor 1:2008). The series is maintained by ISO/TC 33 (Refractory products).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10081-2:2003 is an International Standard that provides a classification and designation system for dense shaped basic refractory products containing less than 7 % residual carbon.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the classification categories, designation rules and applicable product types (including those with antioxidant additives or metal reinforcement) for basic dense shaped refractory products with residual carbon content below 7 %. Products with higher residual carbon levels are addressed in other parts of the ISO 10081 series.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of refractory shapes, procurement/specification engineers in heavy industry (steel, foundry, non‑ferrous, cement, glass), testing laboratories, and standards committees use this standard to describe and compare products and to prepare purchase specifications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The published ISO 10081-2:2003 edition remains the active document; it was published in December 2003 and a technical corrigendum was issued in 2008. According to ISO lifecycle records the document has been reviewed and confirmed (it has not been withdrawn). Users should check ISO or national body records for the latest confirmation or revision status before formal specification.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10081 is a multipart standard covering dense shaped refractory products; Part 1 covers alumina‑silica products, Part 2 covers basic products with <7 % residual carbon, and Part 3 covers basic products with 7–50 % residual carbon, among other related parts.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: refractory, dense shaped products, basic refractory, residual carbon, classification, designation, ISO 10081-2, antioxidant additives.
