A. Increases with decrease in porosity
B. Decreases with decreases in porosity
C. Is independent of its porosity and is maximum for insulating bricks
D. Increases with the amount of air entrapped in pores
A. Spalling rate
B. Fusion point
C. Shrinkage ability
D. None of these
A. Dome of blast furnace stoves
B. Electric arc furnace roof
C. Glass melting furnaces
D. All A., B. and C.
A. Refractoriness (< 1700°C)
B. Thermal conductivity
C. Resistance to thermal shock
D. None of these
A. Less shrinkage in heating, decreased apparent porosity & increased specific gravity
B. High strength & thermal spalling resistance
C. Less addition of water to get a workable plasticity & lesser time required for drying the raw
refractories and hence increased rate of production
D. All A., B. and C.
A. 1520
B. 1630
C. 1670
D. 1730
