Refractories Lab
Introducing to the student that the types of materials and devices may require dealing with different thermal materials as well as calculating the physical and chemical properties of thermal materials using conducting scientific experiments, which include (density - porosity - water absorption - thermal conductivity - compressive strength – resistance and thermal Impact) and facilitating the task of postgraduate students (Master’s - PhD) who are within the laboratory’s specialization to complete the practical part of the research.
