Pocket Manual Refractory Materials

The book aims to provide in a compact format basic knowledge and
practically oriented information on specific properties of refractory
materials, on their testing and inspection, and on interpretation of
test results. Tables and illustrations are used to clarify fundamental
concepts on a comparative basis. This pocket-format manual provides an
overview of the diverse range of modern refractories and their
application-relevant properties. Its main feature is a series of
practice-derived articles by well-known authors in the field on the
various material groups and their characteristic property data. The
content has deliberately been kept concise and instructive, abstracting
and more detailed works are referenced.
