INC 04549 Special Shape Refractory Brick

A brick manufactured essentially of temperature stable mineral aggregates, formed by pressure into a special shape. It is suitable for constructing industrial and boiler furnaces. Resistance to temperature is the prime characteristic, but resistance to one or more of the destructive actions of spalling, abrasion, slag attack, or load is usually required. Excludes BRICK, INSULATING, HIGH TEMPERATURE.

Special Shape Refractory Bricks are a type of refractory material that is used in high-temperature applications, such as in furnaces, kilns, and other industrial processes. These bricks are specially designed and shaped to fit specific areas or requirements within the equipment.

The supply class Refractories And Fire Surfacing Materials refers to a category of materials that are resistant to high temperatures and can withstand thermal shock and chemical corrosion. These materials are used to line and protect surfaces that are exposed to extreme heat, such as in furnaces, boilers, and incinerators.

In the supply group Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials, Special Shape Refractory Bricks are classified as a type of nonmetallic material that has been fabricated or shaped into specific forms. These bricks are typically made from refractory materials such as clay, alumina, silica, or magnesia, which have high melting points and excellent thermal insulation properties.

Special Shape Refractory Bricks are used in various industries, including steel, cement, glass, and ceramics, where they provide insulation, protection, and structural support in high-temperature environments. They are available in different shapes and sizes to meet the specific requirements of different applications.

Some common types of Special Shape Refractory Bricks include:

1. Firebricks: These bricks are made from clay and are used in applications where high heat resistance is required.

2. Insulating Bricks: These bricks are made from lightweight materials such as vermiculite or perlite and are used for insulation purposes to reduce heat loss.

3. Acid Resistant Bricks: These bricks are made from materials that can withstand acidic environments, such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.

4. High Alumina Bricks: These bricks are made from high-purity alumina and are used in applications where high temperature and chemical resistance are required.

5. Magnesia Bricks: These bricks are made from magnesia and are used in applications where high-temperature resistance and basicity are required.

Overall, Special Shape Refractory Bricks play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and efficiency of high-temperature equipment by providing thermal insulation, protection against chemical corrosion, and structural support.
