FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard

( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards
Institution
on 6 August 1984, after the draft finalized by the
Refractories
Sectional
Committee
had been approved by the Structural
and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1961 to assist foundries in the country
in selecting suitable refractories for1 ining cupola furnaces, and subsequently
revised in 1968.
In the present revision, requirements
for both types of
refractories have been modified and SI units have heen adopted.

7.1 The fireclay cupola refractories, when tested in accordance with the
test methods specified, shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1.
8. MARKING
6.1 Each refractory brick or shape shall be clearly marked with the
manufacturers name or trade-mark and the type of the material.

Mark.

The brick or shape may also be marked with the ISI Certification

NOTE- The use of the IS1 Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of
the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification
Marks ) Act and the Rules and
Regulations made thereunder.
The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian
Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the
requirements of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and
quality control which is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by the producer.
ISI marked products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that
Details of conditions under which a licence for the
standard as a further safeguard.
use of the IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers
or processors,
may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.
