The short-time tensile strength of a number of grades of special high-density graphite was measured at room temperature and at 2000 °C. Measurements of density and fluid permeability were made at room temperature. Included for comparison are the values of these properties obtained on one of the better commercially available graphites before and after a furfural polymerization treatment. The characteristic increase in strength with temperature was exhibited by all grades and, in general, the high-density graphites were stronger and exhibited lower permeability than the commercial grade Furfural treatment of the commercial grade significantly increased its strength so that it exceeded the strength of the high-density grades. In addition, this treatment increased the density and improved the permeability of this grade.
