Provides valuable recommendations on the design and installation of refractory lining systems
Describes the most significant factors in castable lining design
Provides examples of refractory lining systems utilized in a range of industries including petrochemical, glass, cement, and steel
Considers the classification of load types, as well as issues related to refractories strength; compressive stress/strain data; arch, spherical, flat wall, and cylindrical lining behavior; and expansion allowance
Highlights the latest developments in spinel-containing refractories and their application to steel, cement, and glass, manufacture
Offers procedures to maximize the life of refractory lining systems
Contains detailed descriptions of laboratory testing methods for evaluation of refractory properties

This comprehensive reference details the technical, chemical, and mechanical aspects of high-temperature refractory composite materials for step-by-step guidance on the selection of the most appropriate system for specific manufacturing processes. The book surveys a wide range of lining system geometries and material combinations and covers a broad range of tests for the determination of the thermal, mechanical, strength, and resistance properties of refractories. With contributions from international specialists with widespread experience in the field, Refractories Handbook provides examples of refractory lining systems utilized in a range of industries, including glass, cement, and steel.
