Refractory materials testing to ASTM and international standards.
Refractory Materials Testing
SRI lab provides a comprehensive refractories testing service to ASTM as well as other international standards if required. We offer a wide range of physical, chemical and thermomechanical testing for:
Quality control
Quality assurance
Failure analysis
Modelling purposes
Physical Tests
Modulus of elasticity, rigidity and Poisson’s ratio
Hydrogen diffusivity
Abrasion resistance
Density and porosity
Pyrometric Cone Equivalent (PCE)
Particle Size Determination (PSD)
Cold crushing strength
Modulus of rupture
Thermomechanical Tests
Compressive stress/strain up to 1550°C
Flexural stress/strain up to 1550°C
Thermal conductivity
