Nickel sulphide: supplementary statistical data of the heat soak test

Abstract

Supplementary heat soak test (HST) breakage data completing those recently published are in good agreement with the latter. The overall evaluation of the whole data set for one type of HST oven with a big number of recorded break events shows that a holding time of 2 h at (290 ± 10) °C is enough to ensure sufficient reliability of the test.
