What is BS 1902-3.17 - Testing refractory materials about?   
BS 1902-3.17 is a British Standard. BS 1902-3.17 is a part of the series on refractory materials. BS 1902-3.17 provides the method to determining volume and bulk density of dense shaped products.
The volume and density of dense shaped refractory products, by the mercury balance, and by measurement of the dimensions of a shaped item are determined. This Section of BS 1902 was prepared under the direction of the Refractory Products Standards Policy Committee.
Note: The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.   
Who is BS 1902-3.17 - Testing refractory materials for?  
BS 1902-3.17 on testing refractory materials is useful for:  
- Entities involved in ceramic researchers
- Steel Industries
- Electricity Supply Industries

Why should you use BS 1902-3.17 - Testing refractory materials?   
Since various materials used in several industries require coating, they need refractory materials of high quality to endure impact of high temperatures and physical wear and corrosion by chemical agents. Efficient Refractory materials are resilient to thermal stress and physical events generated by heat.  
BS 1902-3.17 helps in the testing and determining volume and bulk density of dense shaped products. These standards shall benefit the users to test refractory materials effectively. 
BS 1902-3.17 can help to carefully test and determine the volume and bulk density of refractory materials. These materials are used in various industries and it is extremely important to ensure that the volume and bulk density of refractory materials is ideal. This can prevent any mishaps and assure high credibility.
What’s changed since the last update?  
BS 1902-3.17:1990 supersedes BS 1902-3.8:1981 which is withdrawn.
