Refractory bricks having lower porosity have_________________________?
Correct answer: D. Greater strength
- A. High insulating properties
- B. Low heat capacity
- C. Low thermal conductivity
- D. Greater strength
Explanation
Lower porosity means fewer voids and a denser brick, which generally gives greater mechanical strength. High porosity is instead associated with better insulation and lower thermal conductivity.
