What are the differences and connections between softening temperature of the refractory under a fixed load and thermal resistant creep property of the refractory?
The result of refractoriness under load is temperature while the result of creep is percentage of deformation. Refractoriness under load and creep can be tested by an instrument. Refractoriness under load reflects the temperature in which the deformation reaches a certain degree under the condition of load. Creep reflects the deformation refractory has under the condition of constant temperature and load. Both refractoriness under load and creep are important criterion for the operating temperature of refractory.
