Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Sand & coke is the main raw material for the manufacture of silicon carbide
  • (B)  Carbon refractories cannot be used in the furnaces operating under reducing conditions
  • (C)  Mullite can be obtained by the heating of alusite, kyanite or sillimanite
  • (D)  Silica occurs in nature in all cellular, amorphous or crystalline form
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  Refractories used in muffle furnace should have low thermal conductivity
  • (B)  The electrical resistivity of refractories drops rapidly with rise in temperature
  • (C)  For reducing spalling tendency, the refractory should be well fired and its porosity should be more
  • (D)  Refractoriness under load (RUL) of a refractory is always less than its refractoriness
Pick out the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Insulating refractories used in place of regular refractory bricks are usually called light weight refractories, and they have similar composition as heavy bricks
  • (B)  Graphite refractories are also called plumbago refractories
  • (C)  Superduty fireclay bricks correspond to a pyrometric cone equivalent of 26-28
  • (D)  Calcined magnesite is also called dead burnt magnesite
Pick out the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  Surface tension of a liquid is because of the difference in magnitude of adhesive & cohesive forces
  • (B)  A hydrometer used for the determination of specific gravities of liquids works on the principle of buoyant forces
  • (C)  In case of unsteady fluid flow, the velocity at any given point does not change with time
  • (D)  Turbulent fluid flow is characterised by the rapid fluctuation of instantaneous pressure & velocity at a point
Pick the odd man out?
  • (A)  Briquettes
  • (B)  Wood
  • (C)  Oil gas
  • (D)  Pitch creosote mixture
