Assertion: a refractory that resists fusion to 1700 degrees can safely line a furnace at 1600 degrees. Reason: its refractoriness exceeds the working temperature.

  • A.the assertion is true but the reason given for it is false
  • B.the assertion is false although the reason offered is a true statement in itself
  • C.both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion
  • D.both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion

Answer: B

Refractoriness alone is not enough: the brick carries load while hot, and its refractoriness under load may be hundreds of degrees lower. Slag resistance and spalling behaviour must also be checked before it is specified.
