6 Guidelines to Select Right Refractory for your Furnace.

1
6-Key Points to SelectRight Refractory

• Refractory
• Bricks and Castables

Why Right Refractory? What Experts Says?

• Picking the right refractory will not only last
  longer, it also saves the Annual Fuel Cost.
• It makes the Furnace more Efficient.
• It saves a lot of Energy.
• It minimizes the Shutdowns probability.

6-KeyPoints to Select the Right Refractory

1. Type of Furnace Type of Fuel
2. Mechanical Abrasion Impact
3. Operating Temp. Service Limit
4. Holding Weight at High Temp.
5. Chemical Compatibility
6. Max. Heat Conservation Min. Heat Loss

6-KeyPoints in Detail
1. Type of Furnace Fuel

• The first thing to consider is Type of Furnace
  Type of Fuel. These 2 factors are the most
  imperative decision making key for selecting the
  right Refractory for furnaces/kilns/ovens.

2. Mechanical Abrasion Impact

• A Refractory should be Strong Well bonded in
  order to withstand the Mechanical Abrasion and
  Impact.

3. Operating Temp. Service Limit

• If the operating temperature of a
  Furnace/Kiln/Oven is more than the Refractorys
  Service Limit then it can cause a hazardous
  outcome for your project/product your valuable
  people.

4. Holding Weight at High Temp.

• The design of the furnace/kiln/ovens should be
  designed in such a way so that it can hold its
  own weight at high temperatures or else the whole
  structure will get collapsed.

5. Chemical Compatibility

• The selection of the Refractory products should
  be based on the suitable specifications for a
  specific application. Using a wrong and
  unsuitable Refractory products may lead to
  dangerous failure in form of cracking or
  exploding.

5. Chemical Compatibility

• There are various applications where refractories
  can be used, hence its a wise choice to select
  the right refractory for your requirement.
• Slag Resistance completely rely on the chemical
  reactions between the refractory and slag.

5. Chemical Compatibility

• There are 3 types of refractories with the
  following chemical compatibility
• Acidic Refractory Acidic refractories are used
  for acidic slag condition as they reacts with
  basic materials.
• Basic Refractory Basic refractories are used for
  basic slag condition as they reacts with acidic
  materials.
• Neutral Refractory Neutral refractories may be
  used for all slag conditions.

6. Max. Heat Conservation Min. Heat Loss

• It is always about the Maximum Heat
  Conservation Minimum Heat Loss which will
  help you to lower your Fuel Consumption and
  higher your Production.

6. Max. Heat Conservation Min. Heat Loss

• The ultimate goal for selecting the right
  refractory for a specific application is to
  maximize and enhance the performance of the
  furnace/kiln/ovens.

6. Max. Heat Conservation Min. Heat Loss

• It is not about the higher price will always be
  good, what matters is the most suitable
  refractory for your requirement.

6. Max. Heat Conservation Min. Heat Loss

• When it comes to the Refractory Bricks,
  temperature gradient is the most worst enemy for
  them. Each brick should manage handle the
  stress due to temperature gradient and withstand
  the temperature fluctuations in their body. It
  should not crack or spall at any point of time.

Test Methods for Refractories
1. Pill Test

• It is used when the quantities of Refractories
  are more than compare to quantities of Slag. The
  corrosion and spread of the molten mass is
  observed and calculated to find out the
  Refractory strength against Slag Attack.

Test Methods for Refractories
2. Immersion Method

• This method is used when the quantities of
  Refractories are far less compare to quantities
  of Slag. A small piece of Refractory is placed in
  the Molten Slag.

Test Methods for Refractories
3. Fusion Test

• In this test different quantities of refractory
  material and powdered slag has been used to find
  out the deformation of refractories which are in
  contact with slag.
• So, by keeping all the above factors in mind,
  Furnace Manufacturers can easily select the right
  Refractories according to their requirement.
