Best Practice for Inspecting and Repairing Brick Tile Linings - protecting equipment and the bottom line

摘要

Inspection and repair strategies and procedures deliberately based on how brick and tile linings are constructed and how they degrade and fail in different mill environments are recommended. Inspection methods, condition assessment guidelines and repair guidelines recommended in the paper give mill personnel the basis to take control of lining maintenance work instead of leaving everything to the repair contractor. Such direct involvement is a proven way to simultaneously improve lining performance and eliminate excessive lining maintenance costs.
