Practices by Discipline

This Practice describes the requirements for certification and prequalification of the refractory materials used to construct refractory brick (firebrick) linings in equipment and piping. It specifies a basis for selection, purchase, and quality control of firebrick and mortar refractory materials prior to installation. This Practice describes material properties, testing, documentation, storage, packaging, and shipping requirements for refractory materials used to construct firebrick refractory linings in equipment and piping. This Practice includes dense firebrick, insulating firebrick (IFB), and refractory mortars.

This Practice provides requirements for quality control and quality assurance for the installation of refractory brick (firebrick). Inspection methods include documentation review, in-progress installation inspection, and final inspection of the completed lining.

This Practice provides requirements for installation of refractory brick (firebrick) linings. Installation methods include preparation, laying, and repair of the firebrick linings. This Practice also describes requirements for firing firebrick linings, when required.

This Practice provides procedures for installing ceramic fiber refractory linings in fired heaters and other process equipment. Installation includes steel surface preparation and coating, ceramic fiber installation, and repair of ceramic fiber linings. Ceramic fiber refractories in this Practice include a. Alkaline earth silicate fiber, b. Refractory ceramic fiber, and c. Polycrystalline wool. This Practice does not include installation procedures for mineral wool, fiberglass, or other non-refractory fiber insulation materials.

This Practice provides requirements for quality control and quality assurance for the installation of refractory anchors and accessories including the requirements for inspection and testing of anchors and accessory materials, in-progress installation inspection, surface preparation, welding qualification, weld repair, and final inspection.

This Practice provides installation details for refractory anchors and accessories for monolithic refractory, ceramic fiber, and firebrick linings used in equipment and piping. Included are details for anchor assembly, pattern, spacing, and weld attachments.

This Practice describes requirements for anchors, accessories and welding consumables for refractory linings. It provides a basis for selection of materials, styles and dimensions of metallic and ceramic anchors, welding consumables and accessories for refractory linings installed in equipment and piping. This Practice also describes requirements for plastic caps or coatings for anchor tips and marking and positive material identification (PMI) of metal anchors and accessories.

This Practice provides guidance for the use of PIP refractory Practices for the execution of a refractory lining project.

This Practice describes the requirements for certification and prequalification of the refractory materials and accessories used to construct monolithic refractory linings in process equipment and piping. It provides a basis for selection, purchase, and quality control of refractory materials and metal fiber reinforcement. Included are the material property, testing, documentation, storage, and shipping requirements for industrial refractory lining materials and metal fiber reinforcement used to construct monolithic refractory linings. These materials can be installed by gunning, casting, pumping, or hand packing as specified.
