The Testing of Refractory Blocks for Glass Tank Furnaces

JSGT_1936_V20_T548_T565

A brief account of the many methods used to ascertain the resistance of tank block material to corrosion is given, together with a summary of the more important conclusions drawn from these tests. A procedure for testing tank blocks is outlined and put forward with the object of stimulating discussion. A plea is made for the comparison of data from agreed tests from different workers, with results obtained in practice in order to establish approved methods of testing and so finally to formulate a specification.
