ASTM C830 Standard Test Methods for Visible Porosity of Refractory Shapes at Vacuum Pressure

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM C830 testing. These test methods are applicable to all refractory shapes except those that react chemically with both water and mineral spirits. When testing a material that can react with water for hydration or other chemical reactions but not chemically with mineral spirits, mineral spirits are used instead of water and appropriate corrections for density differences are applied when making calculations.

These test methods cover the determination of the following properties of refractory shapes:

• visible porosity;
• Fluid absorption;
• apparent specific gravity;
• Bulk density.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.

This international standard has been developed in accordance with the internationally accepted principles of standardization set out in the resolution on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guidelines and Recommendations published by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
