EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 993-20 testing. This European Standard describes a method for determining the wear resistance of shaped refractory materials at ambient temperature. It is an indication of its suitability for service in corrosive or corrosive conditions.
EN 993-20 is a European standard that specifies a method for determining the abrasion resistance of densely shaped refractory products at ambient temperature. The test method is used to measure the material's ability to withstand abrasive wear, which can help predict the material's performance in service under abrasive conditions.
The test method involves subjecting a refractory sample to a standard abrasion test in which the sample is rubbed against a rotating abrasive wheel for a fixed period of time. The mass loss of the sample is then measured and the wear resistance is calculated by dividing the mass loss by the initial mass of the sample.
The test is typically performed on small rectangular or circular specimens ranging in size from 20-50 mm. Specimens are often machined to an exact size and shape to ensure an accurate measurement of wear resistance.
Wear resistance is an important property for refractory materials, as it can affect the durability and life of the material under corrosive conditions. High resistance to abrasion means that the material is more resistant to abrasion and can withstand abrasive conditions longer.
In the refractory industry, wear resistance measurements are often used to ensure the consistent quality of products as well as to verify compliance with industry standards and specifications. For example, certain wear resistance ranges may be required for refractory materials used in certain applications such as steelmaking, cement production or mineral processing.
Overall, EN 993-20 provides a reliable and widely accepted method for determining the abrasion resistance of densely shaped refractory products at ambient temperature, an important specification for many applications in industry.
