Visual Inspection Characteristics
General: The refractories shall be compact, of homogeneous texture and shall be
reasonably free of cracks, voids and other flaws. They shall be burnt evenly and
have sufficient mechanical strength with no soft corners. They shall show no sign of
local vitrification.
Laminations: Bricks must be free of internal laminations and cracks. The hammer test is
used to indicate the possible occurrence of such laminations and cracks. On a cut
surface of a representative brick, laminations, if present, must be clearly visible to
indicate a defect. A crack on a cut surface will be judged according to open crack,
which is defined below. For the hammer test, a 100 gram hammer with a wooden
handle is to be used.
Texture: The bricks must be free of grain segregation at corners and edges and shall have
external evidence of a strong, well bonded and uniform texture, developed in a proper
firing process. There must be no signs of local vitrification.
Craters: Craters are defined as melt phenomena, caused by iron oxide or lime. Iron oxide
stains will be tested with a hammer to determine the possible presence of craters. A
crater is defined as a defect with a width larger than 6 mm and deeper than 3 mm. More
than two such craters on any face are not acceptable. For the entire brick, the
maximum allowable number of such craters is seven.

Open Cracks: Bricks must be free of open cracks. Open cracks are defined as
Cracks or tears in the surface of which the length is more than 10 mm and the
width is more than 0.2 mm.

Fins: Fins at corners and edges are not allowed. Fins are defined as :
- Over 1.0 mm high and hard, which will not break under finger pressure or
- Over 0.6 mm high and soft, which will break under finger pressure
Patching of surfaces are not allowed.
The manufacturer shall offer the bricks for inspection only after internal sorting and
marking. All refractory bricks shall be clearly marked with ma
mark, quality and mark no.
For sampling the product and for judging the conformity of the product to this specification,
the procedure given in IS: 1528 (Part-VII), 2010 shall be followed.
Black Core : The bricks must be free from black core.
100% Physical inspection shall be carried out for High Alumina-Silicon Carbide Carbon bricks

Colour: Colour shades due to variation of the firing process or the combination of various
material in the Kiln is a common phenomena. It will be verified that the bricks are of equal
quality. In case of doubt, a sample will be subject to Chemical and Physical testing.
