Abstract

Studies of changes in the flexural strength and phase composition of castable refractories are being carried out in simulated coal gasification reactor environments. This paper describes a pressure vessel in which x-ray powder diffraction measurements can be made by an energy dispersive method while the specimen is being heated to temperatures as high as 1000°C in atmospheres containing H2O, CO2, CO, H2, CH4, NH3 , and H2S at pressures up to 7 MPa (1000 psig).
