ESPINEL BLANCO, Edwin; VELASQUEZ PEREZ, Torcoroma  and  PALLARES, Carlos Alberto. Physical and mechanical properties of H10 ceramic blocks and their relation to temperature during the cooking process. Prospect. [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.74-84.

The present work analyzes the physical properties of the initial absorption rate TIA water and the percentage of final absorption of water at 24 hours and the mechanical properties of resistance to compression and bending, with respect to the temperature profiles recorded during the firing of blocks Ceramics H10. A system for monitoring oven temperatures was implemented using Labview software, with K-type chrome- aluminum alloy bulb thermocouples installed in the oven wall. The tests to determine the physical and mechanical properties were performed according to the Colombian Technical Standard NTC 4017. The oven was classified in four levels from the highest to the lowest and samples of blocks by levels were taken, in the upper levels of the oven it is reached in Less time 500 ° C and exceeds 900 ° C, producing a better process of cooking products with higher resistance to compression and bending, complying with the requirements of NTC 4205, as well in the blocks located at the bottom Of the oven presents a higher rate of water absorption than those produced at higher levels.
