Refractoriness under load is a more useful measure than refractoriness alone because a lining

  • A.must resist thermal shock as well
  • B.is porous and absorbs slag
  • C.carries weight while it is hot
  • D.is heated only on one of its faces

Answer: C

Correct answer: carries weight while it is hot

A refractory in a furnace roof or wall carries the load of the structure above it at working temperature, and many materials that resist high temperature unloaded will deform under even modest stress when hot. Refractoriness under load applies a specified pressure while heating and reports the temperature at which deformation begins, which is the figure that matters in service.
