BS ISO 20202:2004

This standard BS ISO 20202:2004 Carbonaceous materials used in the production of aluminium. Cold and tepid ramming pastes. Preparation of baked test pieces and determination of loss on baking is classified in these ICS categories:

• 71.100.10 Materials for aluminium production

This International Standard describes a method of baking green test specimens made by compacting carbonaceous ramming pastes. It includes the baking procedure (heating rate and holding time) and the determination of the loss on baking (relative mass loss).

Baked test specimens of ramming paste need to be prepared for the determination of properties after baking, for instance apparent density, crushing strength and porosity.
