BS 6043 discusses carbonaceous materials used in aluminium manufacture. BS 6043-4.12 belongs to the BS 6043 multi-series and discusses the determination of the thermal conductivity of baked rammed paste used in aluminium manufacturing.
BS 6043-4.12 describes a method for the determination of the thermal conductivity of test pieces prepared from baked rammed cold ramming paste by a split-column method.
BS 6043-4.12 on thermal conductivity of baked rammed paste used for aluminium manufacturing is useful for:
Ramming paste is intended for a tamping of seams both between bottom cathode blocks and between sidewall cathode carbon blocks in aluminium reduction cells. BS 6043-4.12 provides you guidance with the determination of the thermal conductivity of test pieces prepared from baked rammed cold ramming paste by a split-column method.
BS 6043-4.12 guides you with the reagents, apparatus and sampling required for the test procedure. BS 6043-4.12 also provides guidance with the preparation of the test sample. BS 6043-4.12 guides you with the test procedure and calculation of results. BS 6043-4.12 helps you manufacture high-quality aluminium.
