6、ermocouples ByComparison Techniques3.Significance and Use3.1 The thermal conductivity of monolithic refractories is aproperty required for selecting their thermal transmissioncharacteristics.Users select monolithic refractories to providespecified conditions of heat loss and cold face temperature,wi
7、thout exceeding the temperature limitation of the monolithicrefractory.This test method establishes placement of thermo-couples and positioning of test specimens in the calorimeter.3.2 This procedure must be used with Test Method C201and requires a large thermal gradient and steady state condi-tions
8、.The results are based upon a mean temperature.3.3 The data from this test method are suitable for specifi-cationacceptance,estimatingheatlossandsurfacetemperature,and the design of multi-layer refractory construc-tion.3.4 The use of these data requires consideration of the actualapplication environ
9、ment and conditions.4.Apparatus4.1 The apparatus shall be in accordance with Test MethodC201,modified as in 4.2 of this test method,with the additionof thermocouples and refractory fiber paper,as described inSections 6 and 7.4.2 The furnace shall be modified by drilling a nominal38-in.(10-mm)diamete
10、r hole(Fig.1)through the insulatingfirebrick in the furnace wall at each end of the center line of the18-in.(456-mm)dimension of the furnace cavity.These holesshall be positioned so that the length of the hole will be parallelto the calorimeter surface and the bottom of the hole willcoincide with th
11、e surface of the calorimeter.Copper tubingshall be placed within each hole so that a compressed-airsource can be attached to one side and flexible leads to aflowmeter can be attached to the other.4.3 A compressed-air supply and flowmeter for air.5.Test Specimens5.1 Castable RefractoriesThe test spec
