EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 993-5 testing. This standard specifies a method for the determination of the cold crush strength of densely shaped refractory products.
EN 993-5 is a European standard that specifies the method for determining the cold crush strength of densely shaped refractory products. This property is important for understanding the ability of refractory products to withstand compressive loads at room temperature, which is relevant to various industrial applications such as furnaces and kilns.
The test method described in EN 993-5 involves subjecting the test sample of the refractory product to compression force until it breaks. The test specimen is prepared according to the specified dimensions and surface quality requirements and loaded into a test machine that applies an ever-increasing compressive force until the specimen breaks.
The standard specifies the equipment and procedures to be used for testing, including preparation of the test specimen, calibration of the test machine, and checking and measuring the clamping force. The standard also provides guidance on calculating cold crush strength and reporting test results.
The cold crush strength is calculated from the maximum load at which the test specimen is broken and the dimensions of the specimen. The cold crush strength value is reported in units of megapascals (MPa), which is a measure of the force per unit area required to break the specimen.
Overall, EN 993-5 provides a standardized method for determining the cold crush strength of densely shaped refractory products, which is important for ensuring consistent quality and performance in high temperature applications where compression loads are a critical factor.
