Refractory castable using validity period and size selection

一、Using effective period

Need watering tie with monolithic refractories, such as high temperature cement, refractory plastic, refractory castable, etc., must be checked before use its expiry date. Exceeds the material period, its performance will decline.

Unpacking refractory castable pocket, be sure to carefully view the manufacture date on the bag. Such as alumina cement shelf life of 3 to 6 months, cement vulnerable to air humidity during storage and transport and curdle, must be strictly checked.

Refractory soft plastic blank group, due to solidification into lumps, you can not using.

二、Granularity refractory castable

Refractory castable granularity shape, strength, size and composition, the quality of the masonry has a very important influence.

Check granularity shape, generally use visual methods. Such as knotted crucible induction furnace lining was prismatic granularity best with sharp corners. Check granularity intensity can be struck with a wooden hammer, watching the situation to determine its smash.

Check the size and composition of the particle size, the use of screening method. Sieving is carried out in the test chamber, which can be measured by the percentage of various particle size of the composition.

First check pattern according to the technical requirements of the stove on, pay attention to the size of the maximum size limits, and secondly to fire clay should be careful not lost too many fine parts, so as not to reduce its masonry performance.
