scope:

1.1 This test method supplements Test Method C201 and shall be used in conjunction with that test method to determine the thermal conductivity of refractory brick with the exception of insulating firebrick (use Test Method C182), and carbon refractories. This test method is designed for refractories having a conductivity factor of not more than 200 Btu[dot]in./h[dot]ft [dot]°F (28.8 W/m[dot]K).

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are provided for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
