PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee MN/7, Refractories and
Refractory Materials. In preparing this Standard, reference was made to ASTM C704-88,
Abrasion resistance of refractory materials at room temperature.
The objective of this Standard is to provide those asked to test the abradability of
refractories by the ASTM procedure with a test that is satisfactory for Australian
conditions.

METHOD

1 SCOPE This Standard sets out one method for determining the abradability index of
a formed refractory material at room temperature.
