Fassbender1, Theodore E. Datz1, Majosefina Cunningham1, Dana L. Mazzaro1 1Process Technology Department, Catalyst Technology Division, ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company Here we present a protocol to measure the modulus of rupture of an extruded catalyst and the breakage of said catalyst extrudates by collision against a surface or by compression in a fixed bed.
