Method of testing combustion chamber brick

摘要

The method involves mechanical loading of the tested combustion chamber brick (19). The brick is supported in a tension-free condition by a pair of holders (2,6) adapted to the shape of the brick. The mechanical loading is provided by a defined force (F), exerted on the brick in the region between the holders. Preferably one of the holders (2) is fixed in position and the other is movable together with pressure elements (10,11), for matching the component size tolerance range and variations from the ideal shape.
