About Training
API 936 - Refractory Material Design, Application, Installation and Inspection
API 936 Refractory Technology: Refractory technology has changed significantly in recent years as new monolithic refractory materials have replaced brick in many industries. Vibratable and pumpable castables with superior properties, as well as significantly improved brick, ceramic fiber products, and other items, make optimum refractory selection complex.
Advanced construction methods must be utilized if these improved materials are to achieve their maximum service life. This course includes a review of refractory fundamentals while emphasizing selection and construction techniques for a variety of applications in refineries, chemical plants, industrial furnaces, incinerators, and utility boilers.
The API 936 covers practical guidelines for inspecting and repairing existing linings, criteria for field testing and accepting new installations, and vendor certification of materials prior to shipment.
Training Objectives
What is API 936 training course objective?
- Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:
- Design, apply, install and inspect refractory materials in a professional manner
- Describe the refractory types and classification, test procedures, effects of additives and explain why chemistry alone is not a critical factor
- Emphasize the refractory phase relationships and fracture mechanics
- Inspect and quality control the refractory that includes acceptance/rejection criteria, sampling and testing as well as material and installer certification
- Discuss monolithic refractories including castable and plastic refractories, compositions and properties, anchorage, design and installation and the effects of firing on strength and thermal properties
- Employ the refractory installation techniques including modern refractory state of the art, precast modules, storage & handling, failure analyses, etc.
- Carryout refractory repairs and design various refractory linings
- Employ and apply the refractory selection guidelines from data sheet interpretation and product choice for designed exposure
- Determine and practice the refinery application of refractories including FFCU applications, effects of coking, reformers, transfer lines, Sulphur plants as well as the stacks, creep tests and hot spot detection
