MAPPING OF PERIODIC FURNACES LINED WITH REFRACTORY FIBER

摘要

Methods for measuring temperature and gas gradients in periodic furnaces in a series of Gzhel’ enterprises producing artistic porcelain are examined. It is noted that the author’s method for mapping periodic furnaces makes it possible to determine the temperature and gas gradients in the charge volume of furnaces. Samples of porcelain paste, colored with iron and manganese, and temperature monitoring rings were used. It is recommended that ALSITHERM refractory fiber be use for lining in order to obtain a more uniform temperature distribution in the working zone.
