Methods of sampling and test for carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture - Electrodes - Determination of flexural strength - 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 ℃ to 30 ℃. The method is particularly appli-cable 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.
