Refractory materials

A  refractory  material is one that retains its strength at high  temperatures .  ASTM  C71 defines refractories as "non-metallic materials having those chemical and physical properties that make them applicable for structures, or as components of systems, that are exposed to environments above 1,000 °F (811 K; 538 °C)". Refractory materials are used in linings for  furnaces ,  kilns ,  incinerators  and  reactors . They are also used to make  crucibles  and moulds for casting glass and metals and for surfacing flame deflector systems for rocket launch structures. Refractory materials Refractory materials must be chemically and physically stable at high temperatures. Depending on the operating environment, they need to be resistant to  thermal shock , be chemically inert , and/or have specific ranges of  thermal conductivity  and of the coefficient of  thermal expansion .

Type of Bricks

It is essential to know the type of bricks Bricks for properly understanding the masonry work. Brick can be many types depending on its quality, making process, its raw material and purpose of their using. In this post I'll describe the brick types for various criteria. Depending on quality, bricks are three type - First class brick Second class brick, and Third class brick. First class brick : These bricks are made from good quality raw materials. Color of first class brick is uniform. These are regular in size and shape and doesn't absorb more than 20% water of its own dry weight when immersed in fresh water for 24 hours. The crushing strength of this type of brick should be 105 kg/cm2.

Such as it can be slightly over burned. She size and shape can be slightly differ from standard. The crushing str...
