Sulfur equilibration test

Effect of Temperature on Strength. Work by Rennie et al. indicates that the flexural strength of IVz in. X 1% in. X 10 in. sulfur prisms depends markedly on the temperature at which they are equilibrated before testing (2). Other investigators (3) have noted that sulfur specimens having a substantial volume/surface area ratio may undergo thermal shock, a durability problem in which a fluctuating temperature may...
