DIN EN ISO 1927-8:2013-04

This document specifies methods for the determination of the properties of unshaped refractory materials from test pieces prepared and stored in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1927-5. The methods complement those described in DIN EN ISO 1927-6. The methods have been adapted from standards for shaped refractory products to make them applicable to dense and insulating castables, and ramming materials as defined in ISO 1927-1, before and after firing. ISO 1927-8 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 33 "Refractories" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and has been adopted as EN ISO 1927-8 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.
