    Anchors

    In this episode of HTT.edu, we dig into the unsung hardware that keeps monolithic refractories where they belong: anchors. Listen in as we break down metallic anchors and why their alloy, shape, and spacing matter; take a look at classic bottle anchors and what makes them the go-to choice for castables; and wrap up with brick anchors and how they tie brick linings into shells without compromising expansion. It’s a quick tour of the little pieces that make a big difference in keeping hot linings standing strong.

    Physical Performance of Refractories

    MOR, CCS, PLC... There are so many acronyms in the refractory industry when it comes to the properties that we depend on. Beyond understanding what those acronyms mean, we also need to understand what they mean. This episode of HTT.edu aims to do just that. We look at the various tests that can be done to qualify refractory performance and what we can learn from those tests. Listen in and get a better sense of what your refractories are capable of.

    Plastics - Installation

    When it comes to refractory plastics, you can get a surprising amount of work done without knowing the first thing about the limitations of the material. More difficult and robust jobs call for a more detailed level of understanding, but that only makes up a small subset of those using this category of material. This episode, HTT.edu will look at the tools, jobsite, and installation procedure for installing refractory plastics in various applications.

    Thermal Conductivity and Heat Transfer

    The main role of refractories is to contain the fires of industry. While there are many destructive mechanisms that refractories resist, their first job is to contain all that heat. This episode, we will be talking about how refractories dissipate heat through the thickness of our lining, taking a 2500F inside down to a 250F shell temperature, keeping our workers safe, keeping our costs down and keeping our furnaces efficient.
