EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 993-16 testing. This part of EN 993 covers a method for determining the resistance of densely shaped refractory products to sulfuric acid attack.
EN 993-16 is a European Standard describing a method for determining the resistance of densely shaped refractory products to sulfuric acid. The test is designed to evaluate the ability of a refractory material to withstand the corrosive effects of sulfuric acid, a common industrial acid used in various processes.
The test involves immersing a test sample of the refractory product in a solution of sulfuric acid, which typically has a concentration of 98% and a temperature of 20°C for a specified period of time. After immersion, the weight loss of the sample is measured and the extent of corrosion is calculated according to the weight loss.
The standard provides detailed instructions for the equipment and procedures required to perform the test, including preparing the test sample, preparing the acid solution, and measuring the weight loss. The standard also specifies acceptance criteria for testing, which typically requires that the weight loss of the sample does not exceed a certain limit.
EN 993-16 also provides guidance on the interpretation of test results in terms of refractory product performance. The standard states that the resistance of a refractory material to sulfuric acid can be affected by several factors, including the composition and structure of the material, the concentration and temperature of the acid solution, and the exposure time.
In general, the determination of resistance to sulfuric acid according to EN 993-16 is an important tool for assessing the suitability of densely shaped refractory products for use in industrial processes involving exposure to sulfuric acid. The standard provides a reliable and repeatable method for measuring the resistance of refractory materials to sulfuric acid, which is critical to ensuring the safety and efficiency of industrial processes based on these materials.
