Scope

What is BS EN 993-5 about? BS EN 993 is a series on test method for (dense) shaped refractory products. BS EN 993-5 specifies a method of determination of the cold crushing strength of dense shaped refractory products. This test method could also be used for materials development, quality control, characterization, design and data generation purposes. BS EN 993-5 includes apparatus, geometry of test pieces, test piece preparation and verification, test procedure, and precision data . Who is BS EN 993-5 for? BS EN 993-5 on refractory products and materials is useful for: Refractory products manufacturers Mechanical engineers Casting and moulding industries Testing laboratories Why should you use BS EN 993-5 ? A refractory material or refractory is a material that is resistant to decomposition by heat, pressure, or chemical , and retains strength and form at high  tempertures. Refractory materials are used in furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and reactors. It  is important to determine the cold crushing strength refractory products. BS EN 993-5 helps you by providing a test method for determining cold crushing strength of refractory products and materials, which can be useful for various industries that use refractory products. This would be crucial to ensure optimal operational efficiency, strength and long service-life for your specific engineering and product needs. BS EN 993-5 enable you establish standardised processes on ensuring the optimal functioning of refractory products, by reducing risk of cracks and other damages and unsafe practices.
