This test method describes a procedure for comparing the behavior of refractories to the action of molten slag in a rotating test furnace.Areference material should be included in each test and run for comparison. No numeric results are obtained from this test method. Numeric evaluation of test results is the responsibility of the test operator. The test and equipment are patterned after a method developed by Valley Dolomite Corporation².
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
