ASTM C1106-00(2005)

The results obtained by these test methods should serve as a guide in, but not as the sole basis for, the selection of a chemical-resistant carbon brick for a particular application. No attempt has been made to incorporate into these test methods all the factors that may affect the performance of carbon brick when subjected to various actual service conditions.

1.1 These test methods are intended for use as short-term tests for evaluating the physical properties of carbon brick at various temperatures in immersion service. These test methods provide a means of determining the following changes in the carbon brick specimen and the test media:

1.1.1 Weight, appearance and compressive strength of the carbon brick specimen.

1.1.2 Appearance of the test media before, during and after testing of the carbon brick specimen.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
