1 SCOPE
This Standard provides a procedure for determining the modulus of elasticity of refractories
by the tensile method at elevated temperatures.

3 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS 2780 and those below apply.
3.1 Modulus of elasticity
The stress divided by the corresponding strain with no permanent deformation.
3.2 Strain
The ratio of the deformation to the total value of the dimension in which the deformation
occurred.
3.3 Stress
The force per unit area tending to produce a deformation.

4 PRINCIPLE
A test specimen is heated to the test temperature at a specified rate and is maintained at that
temperature. A force is then applied through a three-point system at a constant rate of
increase. The deformation corresponding to the force is recorded. Young’s modulus is
determined by an appropriate equation.
