An insulating refractory brick should have high porosity and low thermal conductivity. Which of the following is not used for inducing porosity in the insulating refractory bricks during its manufacture ?

Correct answer: C. Sand

  • A. Cork
  • B. Saw dust
  • C. Sand
  • D. Chemically prepared foam

Explanation

Cork, sawdust, and chemically generated foam create pores that remain after firing or decomposition. Sand is a relatively dense, noncombustible filler and does not induce the desired porosity.
