Hot modulus of rupture
The hot modulus of rupture (HMOR) is an important variable in the characterization of
refractory materials. Determination of the maximum load at high temperatures is an
important parameter for quality control and development of furnace linings
The modulus of rupture is defined as the maximum stress of a rectangular test piece of
specific dimensions which can withstand maximum load until it breaks, expressed in N/mm2
or MPa. For HMOR load is applied at a high temperature.
