Water content in ground refractory material to be shaped into bricks by hand moulding is about ______________ percent?

Correct answer: B. 20

  • A. 5
  • B. 20
  • C. 40
  • D. 55

Explanation

Hand moulding requires enough water to provide plasticity, typically about 20% of the ground refractory mix. Lower values make shaping difficult, while 40% or more would produce excessive shrinkage and porosity.
