EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 993-8 testing. This European Standard specifies a method for determining, by a differential method, the deformation of dense and insulating shaped refractory products subjected to a constant load under conditions of progressively increasing temperature or 'refractory under load'. The test can be performed up to a maximum temperature of 1700°C.
EN 993-8 is a standard that specifies a method for determining the refractoriness under load (RUL) of densely shaped refractory products. RUL is a measure of a refractory product's ability to withstand high temperatures under a given load.
The test method involves subjecting a test sample of refractory product to a gradually increasing temperature and a constant load until the sample begins to deform. The temperature at which deformation occurs is recorded as the RUL value of the product.
The standard provides detailed instructions on the preparation of test specimens, test equipment, and test procedure. The load and temperature range covered by the standard are determined according to the intended use of the refractory product.
This standard is used by manufacturers of dense shaped refractory products to ensure that their products meet the required refractoriness properties. It is also used by testing laboratories to provide independent verification of the product's refractoriness properties.
The RUL test is an important test for refractory products used in high temperature applications such as furnaces and ovens, as it shows the temperature at which the product will begin to deform under load. This information is critical in ensuring the safety and efficiency of these high temperature processes.
