Check the Current Materials<\/h3>\n<p>Any experienced engineer will always find the main cause of <strong>refractory installation failure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once identified, the refractory contractor can find other options of <strong>refractory lining solution<\/strong> that last longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions when inspecting damaged refractory materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Was the material damaged due to thermal shock?<\/li>\n<li>Did excessive shrinkage due to high temperature cause the rupture?<\/li>\n<li>Was the refractory material installed improperly?<\/li>\n<li>Did the equipment operation damage the material?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any mechanical injuries?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After answering these questions, the <strong>refractory engineer<\/strong> will collect material samples to test.<\/p>\n<p>First, it will go through a cold crush test. Then, the strength of the refractory material will be analyzed. Afterward, compare the results with the datasheets. Lastly, the results will show whether the refractory mix was too wet or too dry.<\/p>\n<p>Suggested read: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/slpsb.com.my\/blog\/tips-to-choose-refractory-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Choose the Right Refractory Material<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>3. Ratio Calculation of Materials<\/h3>\n<p>Based on the analyses in steps 1 &amp; 2, the refractory contractor will measure the moisture content of the heated material.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, the level of moisture combined with atmospheric moisture will separate the silicon carbide-based materials.<\/p>\n<p>This will happen if the moisture percentage of the heated material passes 15%. Thus, it will react with the cement-based refractory such as <strong>high alumina refractory cement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the <strong>refractory breach repair procedure<\/strong> is the same, it will cause a chemical attack and surface failure of the refractory. Hence, more costs to take care of.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-371\" src=\"https:\/\/slpsb.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/subheader-refractory-installation-failures-how-to-fix-them_01.jpg\" alt=\"refractory-installation-failures-&amp;-how-to-fix-them\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slpsb.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/subheader-refractory-installation-failures-how-to-fix-them_01.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.slpsb.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/subheader-refractory-installation-failures-how-to-fix-them_01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slpsb.com.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/subheader-refractory-installation-failures-how-to-fix-them_01-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>4.
