Discriminating Between Refractory and Non-refractory Quartzite by Quantitative Petrography

G. V. Wood

ABSTRACT

The Tuscarora Quartzite is the most important source of silica refractory raw material in Pennsylvania. Quantitative estimations of quartz %, silica cement %, Fe2O3 and mean length of quartz grains, when applied in the form of a discriminant function, are found to differentiate between the refractory and non-refractory occurrences.
