Low Cement Castables
SUGGESTED HEATING PROCEDURES for RESCO LOW, ULTRA-LOW, AND NO CEMENT CASTABLES The following schedule is recommended for Resco Products' Low, Ultra-Low, and No Cement Castables. Controlled release of water in the castable is necessary to prevent possible build-up of steam pressure and potential steam spalling. Heating can be done before or during unit start-up. The following schedule is recommended FOR SINGLE COMPONENT LININGS UP TO 9” THICK. 1. At anytime following the initial 24 hour curing period, raise the temperature to 300 oF (149oC). 2. Hold at 300oF (149oC) for 1½ hours per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness up to a maximum period of 8 hours. 3. Raise temperature at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour to operating temperature or 1000oF (540oC), whichever is less. If the operating temperature is above 1000oF (540oC), then heat at a rate of 100ºF (56oC) per hour from 1000oF (540oC) to operating temperature if the lining is up to 6” thick (152 mm); heat at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour from 1000oF (540oC) to operating temperature if the lining is 6” to 9” thick (152 mm to 229 mm). If the unit is not going into operation, but will be cooled down, hold at the operating temperature for a minimum period of 1½ hours per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness up to a maximum period of 8 hours. The following schedule is recommended FOR SINGLE COMPONENT LININGS OVER 9” THICK. 1. At anytime following the initial 24 hour curing period, raise the temperature to 300 oF (149oC) at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour. 2. Hold at 300oF (149oC) for one hour per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness. 3. Raise temperature at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour to 450oF (232oC). 4. Hold at 450oF (232oC) for one hour per inch of lining thickness. 5. Heat at a rate of 25ºF (14oC) per hour to 600oF (315oC). 6. Hold at 600oF (315oC) for one hour per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness. 7. Heat at a rate of 50ºF (28oC) per hour to 1000oF (540oC). 8. Hold at 1000oF (540oC) for one hour per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness. If the unit is not going into operation, but will be cooled down, hold at the operating temperature for a minimum period of 1½ hours per inch (25 mm) of lining thickness up to a maximum period of 8 hours. NOTES: If, for any reason, the heating schedule is interrupted by a loss of heat and/or power into the unit, Resco Products recommends that the heating schedule be initiated from the beginning once power and/or heat is restored. At the end user or contractor’s discretion, they may elect to attempt to restart the cycle and “stabilize” the lining temperature at the point of interruption. After the lining has been stabilized, the heat up cycle may be resumed as scheduled from that point on. Resco assumes no liability for this procedure, as it is difficult to determine that point at which the entire lining is stable to prevent the possibility of a steam spall. Temperatures shown are measured at the hot face of the lining for in place heating. Allow the lining to cool down naturally; do not exceed 100ºF (56oC) per hour. The dry out of refractory entails more than just following a heating schedule. Issues such as burner sizing and location, exhaust location, air volume and velocity, etc need to be addressed. Resco recommends that an experienced dry out company be consulted. Temperatures should be monitored at the refractory surface at several locations in the unit. If steaming is observed at any time during the schedule, the temperature should be held constant until the steaming subsides. The schedule can resume when steaming ends. This schedule is recommended for situations where proper heating equipment and air circulation are used, weep holes are present and unclogged, and the ambient temperature ranges from 60 o to 90oF. If all of these parameters are not met, a more conservative dry out schedule is needed. Consult your Resco Products, Inc salesman, the RESCO website (www.rescoproducts.com), or call 888.283.5505.
