Abstract: In order to determine the torsion strength of non-metal materials at ambient and high temperature, a kind of equipment with inductive heating, infrared thermometer and torque loading by mechanical electrical rider was development. This equipment has advantages such as quick heating, accurate temperature test and controlling, easy controlling and continues of torque loading and test atmosphere can be controlled. The torsion strength of fireclay bricks with sample size of 40 mm × 40 mm × 230 mm, were tested separately at room temperature, 800°C, 1000°C, 1100°C and 1200°C, using this equipment. Results indicated that for the same batch of samples, the torsion strength determined by this equipment has good consistency, and mean while, it was found that the torsion strength decreased with the increase of test temperature obviously. In additional, developed equipment could be used for the determination of torsion creep at high temperature, the highest temperature of fracture under certain torque during the heating process, torque cycle fatigue failure of materials and so on.

Abstract: In order to overcome the disadvantages of thermal expansion measurements using small samples, such as 10mm×50mm, for refractories with aggregates larger than 20mm, a new apparatus and method were developed by Wuhan University of Science and Technology for the thermal expansion determination of refractories using large samples. Thermal expansion determination of large refractory samples, such as 40mm×40mm×160mm, can be finished by this new apparatus up to 1600°C. During the process of thermal expansion measurement by this new apparatus, the temperature difference along the length of large refractory sample with large aggregates can be observed by three thermocouples, which were inserted into sample. Determination was done when the whole sample is the same temperature or in the permissible temperature range. Results comparison between this new apparatus and calibrated model 1161V dilatometer produced by ANTER Corporation show that developed apparatus has good accuracy.
