DIN EN ISO 1927-5:2013-04

This document specifies methods for the preparation and treatment (curing, drying and firing) of test pieces from monolithic (unshaped) refractory materials. The methods are applicable to dense and insulating castables and to ramming materials with the four types of chemical composition defined in ISO 1927-1. The dimensions of the test pieces, the preparation of the mixture, compaction methods, storage and post-treatment of the test pieces are specified. ISO 1927-5 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 33 "Refractories" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and has been adopted as EN ISO 1927-5 by Technical Committee CEN/TC 187 "Refractory products and materials", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-02-57 AA "Ungeformte, dichte geformte und wärmedämmende feuerfeste Erzeugnisse und Werkstoffe" ("Unshaped, dense shaped and insulating refractory products and materials") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN.
