Carbonaceous materials used in the production of aluminium -- Prebaked anodes and cathode blocks -- Part 1: Determination of bending/shear strength by a three-point method
This part of ISO 12986 describes a method for the determination of the bending/shear strength (flexural strength) of prebaked anodes and cathode blocks at temperatures in the range 20 °C to 30 °C. The method is particularly applicable to prebaked anodes, but can be applied to cathode blocks. NOTE For the practical application of this International Standard the terms 'bending/shear strength' and 'flexural strength' may be considered equivalent
