BS 1902-5.5:1991

This standard BS 1902-5.5:1991 Methods of testing refractory materials. Refractory and thermal properties is classified in these ICS categories:

• 81.080 Refractories

This Section of BS 1902-5 describes the panel method for determining the thermal conductivity of dense shaped and shaped insulating refractory products by a continuous flow calorimeter method. The panel/calorimeter method may be used for preformed unshaped products and for ceramic fibre products.

NOTE 1 For details of the adaptations needed for ceramic fibre products, see BS 1902-6.

The panel/calorimeter method is intended for materials having a thermal conductivity in the range 0.5 W/(m K) to 20 W/(m K) and hot face temperatures in the range 300 °C to 1400 °C. For thermal conductivities below 0.5 W/(m K) see BS 1902-5.6.
