Abstract: A pin for fixing an innermost ceramic fiber layer of a plurality of ceramic fiber layers so as to line a furnace wall to at least one other ceramic fiber layer of the plurality of ceramic fiber layers, situated at a side of the furnace wall with respect to the innermost ceramic fiber layer by being inserted from the innermost ceramic fiber layer into the other ceramic fiber layer.
Abstract: A laminar block for lining an inner wall of a furnace is composed of a number of individual laminated sheets of inorganic fibers sewed together by means of chain stiches. When the laminar block is cut to size, severing the thread, the chain stitches prevent the laminated sheets from separating.
