The effect of aging on refractory thickness calculations for process vessels and furnaces
Presented at COM October 14-15, 2020
Abstract
The paper discusses the effects of material properties change on refractory thickness predictions by incorporating the insights from operating conditions, compositions of ore material, thermal calculations, as well as, the stress wave response calculations. It also provides a practical solution that accounts for the changing refractory properties and allows for more precise refractory lining thickness calculation.
