ASTM F1097-17 (R2022) PDF Download

ASTM F1097-17 (R2022) is a standard specification that covers the requirements for dry air-setting refractory mortar and wet air-setting refractory mortar. The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines for the composition, performance, and testing of refractory mortar used in various types of furnaces.

The dry air-setting refractory mortar is designed for use in ship boiler furnaces, while the wet air-setting refractory mortar is suitable for laying refractory brick in stationary boiler furnaces, bright annealing furnaces, controlled atmosphere furnaces, and furnaces heated by electric elements.

The refractory mortar specified by this standard can be made from finely ground heat-resistant clays, minerals, or a combination of clays and minerals in either a dry or wet condition. The mortar must meet specific requirements for fineness, heat soak, and bonding strength.
