Abstract: A metal tubular supporting member in a furnace sheathed by refractory sheathing comprising an inner layer of fibrous refractory material and an outer layer of refractory tiles held in place by metal links which are secured together around the furnace member and have radial studs which extend through the inner layer into socket holes in the tiles so that the metal fittings can first be secured to the furnace member and then covered by the fibrous refractory material and the tiles which are engaged with the radial studs.
Abstract: A metal tubular supporting member in a furnace is sheathed by refractory tiles held in place, over an inner layer of refractory fibrous material, by metal coupling links which grip around the furnace member and have projections engaging holes in the tiles.
Abstract: A metal tubular supporting member in a furnace sheathed by a refractory sheathing comprising refractory tiles held in place by metal coupling links covered and positively engaged by adjacent tiles so that tiles and links respectively clasp together and embrace around the furnace member.
Abstract: A refractory furnace lining or like wall structure is built as a dry wall from unfired, relatively large and heavy, basically rectangular blocks fitted closely together and tied by refractory rod-like keys in opposed pairs of grooves in the blocks. A wall built of such blocks is fired in situ.
