refractory bricks are a refractory structural material used in high temperature environments, and they can come in different shapes and sizes to suit different application needs. The following are common refractory brick shapes:
1. Standard Bricks: Also known as rectangular bricks, this is the most common shape of refractory bricks. They have a rectangular appearance and are usually of standard dimensions and proportions, eg 230 mm x 114 mm x 65 mm. Standard bricks can be used in various hearths, kilns and heating equipment.
2. Half Bricks: Half bricks are half the length of standard bricks, that is, about 230 mm × 57 mm × 65 mm. Half bricks can be used in areas requiring narrower linings or special shapes, such as curved sections or conical hearths.
3. Corner Bricks: Corner bricks have a right-angled shape and are used to connect the corners of two adjacent walls. They reduce the need for cutting during masonry and provide better structural stability.
4. Arch Bricks: Arch Bricks are refractory bricks specially designed for the manufacture of arched hearths or kilns. They have an arched or curved appearance and can be installed following specific curves.Arch Bricks are ornamental ways of bridging openings which are comprised of small units bonded together around a curve or series of curves. Arches need no additional reinforcements as brick lintels do because of wedge shaped units as load increases, the unit in the arch becomes tighter.
5. Cut Bricks: Cut bricks are cut from standard bricks according to specific requirements. They can come in a variety of unconventional shapes and sizes to accommodate special furnace configurations or assembly needs.
6. Special Shape Bricks: According to specific application requirements, various special shape refractory bricks can also be manufactured. These bricks can be conical, cylindrical, U-shaped or other irregular shapes to suit special furnace or process equipment configurations.
Additionally, refractory bricks can be trimmed or cut to fit specific needs to ensure fit with adjacent bricks and integrity of the lining.
Each shape of refractory brick is tailored to specific application and structural needs, ensuring that the furnace or equipment can effectively withstand heat and chemical attack in high temperature environments, and provide good refractory performance and structural stability.
