HOW TO APPLY THE REFRACTORY ANCHOR
ANCHOR LENGTH & SPACING:

All information given in this section is general and may vary according to special service conditions encountered. Therefore, this information should only be used as a guide.

The anchor length shown is the after-weld length of the longest section of the anchor. The lengths (in table 3) are recommended to insure good refractory holding power, while preventing rapid oxidation of the anchor and preventing spalling of the refractory surface. Generally the anchor length should be about 75% of the refractory depth, however, the end of the anchor should never be closer to the refractory hot face than 1".

The anchor spacing will be determined by the type and density of the refractory used, and how and where it is to be applied. For anchoring purposes, the refractory can be classified as LOW DENSITY (25-90 lbs. per cu. ft.) and HIGH DENSITY (100-200 lbs. per cu. ft.). High density material can be used in one component linings of any thickness. Low density material is only used in one component linings to a depth of 6". Frequently, in sections more than 6" thick, high density material composes the working lining with a back-up of low density material.
