ASTM C133
Significance and Use
The cold strength of a refractory material is an indication of its suitability for use in refractory
construction. (It is not a measure of performance at elevated temperatures.)
These test methods are for determining the room temperature flexural strength in 3-point bending
(cold modulus of rupture) or compressive strength (cold crushing strength), or both, for all refractory
products.
Considerable care must be used to compare the results of different determinations of the cold
crushing strength or modulus of rupture. The specimen size and shape, the nature of the specimen
faces (that is, as-formed, sawed, or ground), the orientation of those faces during testing, the loading
geometry, and the rate of load application, may all significantly affect the numerical results
obtained. Comparisons of the results between different determinations should not be made if one or
more of these parameters differ between the two determinations.
The relative ratio of the largest grain size to the smallest specimen dimension may significantly
affect the numerical results. For example, smaller, cut specimens containing large grains may
present different results than the bricks from which they were cut. Under no circumstances should 6-
by 1- by 1-in. (152- by 25- by 25-mm) specimens be prepared and tested for materials containing
grains with a maximum grain dimension exceeding 0.25 in. (6.4 mm).
This test method is useful for research and development, engineering application and design,
manufacturing process control, and for developing purchasing specifications.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the cold crushing strength and the modulus of
rupture (MOR) of dried or fired refractory shapes of all types.
1.2 The test methods appear in the following sections:
Test Method Sections

Cold Crushing Strength 4 to 9
Modulus of Rupture 10 to 15
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in
parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are
not considered standard.
