Refractory Testing Machines

Refractories are heat, pressure and chemical resistant materials that are utilized in linings for high-temperature furnaces, reactors and other processing machines. Refractory testing machines help determine the maximum load at high temperatures, modulus of rupture (MOR), thermo-optical oscillating refraction characterization (TORC), refractoriness under load (RUL) and creep in compression (CIC). Key considerations include temperature range, measuring range, heating and cooling rates, and sample size.
