What they ask about
Free sample question from API.TR.979
What puts refractory concrete into the door jambs and lintels of a cyclic brick kiln?
- A. To eliminate the joints through which heat would otherwise be lost
- B. To resist the abrasion caused by ware being charged and drawn
- C. To redirect the expansion effect of circular fireclay arches ✓
- D. To provide a surface that can be patched while the kiln remains hot
- E. To lower the heat capacity so that cycling is faster and cheaper
Circular fireclay arches push their expansion outward in a way that suits a jamb badly. Refractory concrete at the jambs and lintels of a cyclic kiln sends that push somewhere more useful. API TR 979, 5.3.1.1
