Designation:C110600(Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Methods forChemical Resistance and Physical Properties of CarbonBrick1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1106;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods are intended for use as short-termtests for evaluating the physical properties of carbon brick andtheir chemical resistance at various temperatures in immersionservice.These test methods provide a means of determining thefollowing changes in the carbon brick specimen and the testmedia:1.1.1 Weight,appearance,and compressive strength of thecarbon brick specimen.1.1.2 Appearance of the test media before,during,and aftertesting of the carbon brick specimen.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C904 Terminology Relating to Chemical-Resistant Nonme-tallic MaterialsE4 Practices for Force Verification of Testing Machines3.Terminology3.1 Definitions For definitions of terms used in these testmethods,see Terminology C904.4.Significance and Use4.1 The results obtained by these test methods should serveas a guide in,but not as the sole basis for,the selection of achemical-resistant carbon brick for a particular application.Noattempt has been made to incorporate into these test methodsall the factors that may affect the performance of carbon brickwhen subjected to various actual service conditions.5.Apparatus5.1 Equipment,capable of weighing materials or specimensto 60.01 g accuracy.5.2 Micrometer or Vernier Caliper,having a range suitablefor measuring brick specimens to within 0.001 in.(0.025 mm).5.3 Masonry Saw,suitably equipped to permit wet cutting(water only)of carbon brick with a diamond edge blade.5.4 Constant-Temperature Oven or Liquid Bath,capable ofmaintaining temperature within a range of 64F(62C).5.5 Testing Machine,may be of any type of sufficientcapacity that will provide the rates of loading prescribed.Itshall have been documented to have an accuracy of 61.0%,orbetter,within 12 months of the time of use in accordance withPractices E4.The testing machine shall be equipped with twosteel bearing blocks with hardened faces,one of which is aspherically seated block that will bear on the top bearing plate,and the other a plain rigid block that will support the bottombearing plate.The diameter of the spherical bearing block shallbe at least 75%of the width of the specimen.The bearingfaces shall not depart from a plane by more than 0.001 in.(0.025 mm)in any 6 in.(150 mm)diameter circle.5.6 Containers:5.6.1 Wide-Mouthed Glass Jars,of sufficient capacity,fittedwith plastic or plastic-lined metal screw caps or other suitablesealed containers for low-temperature tests involving media oflow viscosity.5.6.2 Erlenmeyer Flasks,of sufficient capacity,each fittedwith standard-taper joints and a reflux condenser attachment.5.6.3 Containers,as described in 5.6.1 and 5.6.2,having aninert coating on their inner surfaces,or containers of a suitableinert material for use with media which attack glass.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C03 onChemical-Resistant Nonmetallic Materials and are the direct responsibility onSubcommittee C03.01 on Mortars and Carbon Brick.Current edition approved Aug.1,2012.Published September 2012.Originallyapproved in 1988.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as C1106 00(2005).DOI:10.1520/C1106-00R12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 5.7 Hot Plate,Heating Mantel,or Pail Heater,suitable forboiling water.5.8 Sander,suitable for smoothing surfaces.6.Test Specimens6.1 The test specimens shall be wet cut using a masonry sawfrom representative full brick as received from the manufac-turer.6.1.1 All faces of the specimens shall be approximatelyplane and smooth.Adjacent faces must be normal to each other.If the faces are not suitably plane,smooth,and with adjacentfaces normal to each other,the surfaces may be sanded,ground,or machined to specification.Exercise care that thefrictional heat deve
