A Further Study of the Hydrofluoric Acid Solubility Test as a Guide to Assessing the Durability of Tank Blocks

JSGT 1931 V15 T255-T262

The solvent action of hydrofluoric acid on fireclay refractory material, especially tank blocks, as a basis for ascertaining the probable behaviour of the material when used in the glass-containing walls of a tank furnace was investigated and described by one of us in a paper read to the Society in 1929. The other of the two authors subsequently applied it extensively, and came to the conclusion that it was a very useful test. The paper reports on further experiences.
