Y BRICK SvSTeMS ANO MATERIALS 3
3.9
fireclay brick (medium-duty)
Fireclay brick that has a pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) not lower than Cone 29 nor higher than 31 to 31½
(ASTM C27).
3.10
fireclay brick (high-duty)
Fireclay brick that has a pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) not lower than Cone 31½ nor above 32½ to 33 (ASTM
C27).
3.11
fireclay brick (super-duty)
Fireclay brick that has a pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) not lower than Cone 33 and that meets certain other
requirements, as outlined in ASTM C27.
3.12
heat setting mortar
Mortar that requires heat to gain a significant strength, which is suitable for laying refractory brick. Joints are
usually thin and bricks are in compressive rings.
3.13
independent laboratory
A refractory testing facility not affiliated with the refractory manufacturer or contractor.
3.14
inspector
The party or individual whom the owner has contracted or otherwise designated to monitor refractory testing and
installation work performed by the contractor and refractory material manufacturer(s).
3.15
installer (refractory):
Company or individual responsible for installing the refractory lining.
3.16
installer qualification testing
Preinstallation simulation of production work that is sampled and tested as well as visually inspected to verify that
application equipment and personnel are capable of meeting specified quality standards of installation.
3.17
key
In furnace construction or rotary kiln lining, the uppermost or the closing brick of a curved arch or ring.
3.18
manufacturer (refractory)
In refractory, the manufacturer is the party that manufactures the refractory products and/or ancillaries for supply
to the refractory contractor.
NOTE The refractory manufacturer has primary responsibility for material design properties, manufacturing QC at the
manufacturing site, and specific procedures such as those for product mixi ng, installation, and start-up.
3.19
material qualification testing
Preinstallation testing of refractory materials in which production lots of refractories manufactured for a specific
installation are sampled and tested to confirm that they meet specified physical property requirements.
NOTE This is primarily applicable for materials such as mortar, especially those near their expiration date. Brick testing
is usually not required unless this is specified and/or agreed to by the conlracting parties.
