Similarly to the Portland concrete used in civil engineering, water is added to the refractory castables to provide workability and allow molding, pumping, shotcreting or other forms of placement. Water exists within castables in free or combined forms: while free water remains in the pores without reaction with the materials' other ...
Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...
A Refractory lined expansion joint is an assembly used in a pipe line to allow it to expand and contract [1] as climate conditions move from hot to cold and helps to ensure that the system remains functional. The refractory-lining can be vibra cast insulation with anchors, abrasion resistant refractory in hex mesh, gunned insulating refractory ...
Calderys, a subsidiary of Imerys, is a multinational company specialized in producing heat resistant monolithic refractory products. [1] Calderys is headquartered at Issy-Les-Moulineaux on the outskirts of Paris, with over 2,000 employees and 18 plants in more than 30 countries.
A schematic cross section through a Heroult arc furnace. E is an electrode (only one shown), raised and lowered by the rack and pinion drive R and S. The interior is lined with refractory brick H, and K denotes the bottom lining. A door at A allows access to the interior. The furnace shell rests on rockers to allow it to be tilted for tapping.
A typical refractory will be capable of maintaining a temperature drop of 1000 °C (1,800 °F) or more between its hot and cold faces. The shell temperature needs to be maintained below around 350 °C (662 °F) to protect the steel from damage, and continuous infrared scanners are used to give early warning of "hot-spots" indicative of ...
A very castable part design is easily developed, incurs minimal tooling costs, requires minimal energy, and has few rejections. [2] Castability can refer to a part design or a material property . [ 1 ]
A hydraulic ram pump, ram pump, or hydram is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one " hydraulic head " (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate.
