PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice. This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

Refractory shall be gunned into the basket during normal refractory placement using the same methods as for the refractory placement. c. The sample basket refractory shall be removed from the shell, coated with curing compound, remain inside the unit protected from rebound and damage, and left undisturbed for a 24-hour air cure. d. From the sample basket, the following sample configurations shall be extracted: (1) Three 50-mm (2-inch) cubes for cold-crushing strength testing. (2) One 230-mm by 50-mm by 50-mm (9-inch by 2-inch by 2- inch) bar for permanent linear change and density testing. 2. Sampling Frequency a.

If acceptable test results are obtained during the first week, the test sampling frequency may be reduced to one test per week, per nozzleman, as agreed with purchaser s inspector. Process Industry Practices Page 11 of 14

3. Sample Test Failures a. A failed test result shall require that the testing frequency specified in Section 4.6.4.2.2.a be restarted. b. If during the course of the installation, two samples of a particular material fail, Section 4.6.4.2.2.a shall be followed for that material for the remaining installation. 4.6.4.3 Cast, Self-Flow, Thin Erosion-Resistant Castable, and Vibration Cast Mix Sampling Procedure 1. Sample Sizes a. For the dense refractory castable samples, a sample of adequate size shall be prepared, using the same technique used for installation, for the extraction of the following sample configurations: (1) Three 50-mm (2-inch) cubes for cold-crushing strength testing. (2) One 230-mm by 50-mm by 50-mm (9-inch by 2-inch by 2-inch) bar for permanent linear change testing.

If the retest passes the required criteria, the lining shall be deemed acceptable. d. If the retest of the sample fails, the area from which the questionable sample was taken shall be determined. The area identified shall have one sample cut out and submitted for retesting for the nonconforming properties. e. If the results are outside the limits of acceptability, the lining section shall be removed and replaced in accordance with PIP RFSM2000. 4.7.1.1 During refractory installation, the refractory shall be inspected at each of the hold points listed on purchaser s PIP RFTM1000-F Inspection Hold Point and Sign-Off Schedule. 4.7.1.2 In-progress inspection of the refractory installation shall confirm that refractory, anchor system and layout, and lining design details including any required coatings are in accordance with the contract documents. Comments: In-progress refers to continuous monitoring at regular intervals throughout the duration of the work. 4.7.1.3 Work shall not progress until all parties listed on purchaser s PIP RFTM1000-F have signed off at each hold point in the order as shown on the form. 4.7.1.4 Repairs, as indicated during the inspection, shall be completed in accordance with PIP RFSM2000. 4.7.2 Hammer Testing 4.7.2.1 Except for the following refractory types, installed castable refractory shall be hammer tested after curing of each layer: a. Heat-setting, thin, erosion-resistant linings b. Ultralightweight, insulating castable. See PIP RFSM1000, Appendix A, Type 1). 4.7.2.2 Hammer testing shall be performed using the ball end of a 225-g (8-ounce) ball-peen hammer. 4.7.2.3 Floors or bottom heads shall be tested on 900-mm (3-foot) centers maximum.
