A report of progress in the development of a method of testing refractories for their resistance to abrasion at high temperatures. The method developed consists of a steel chisel point moving back and forth over faces of the brick clamped together. Eleven brick are tested at one time. The chisel is actuated by means of a jack hammer and is water‐cooled. The blow delivered vanes from 6.5 inch‐pounds at the beginning of the test to 13 inch‐pounds under the most severe conditions. The chisel has a rounded point l/8‐ch radius and 1 inch wide. Data show that the principle is correct and capable of differentiating between brick of varying resistances to abrasion at tempcratures as high as 1350°C.
