Refractory linings must be installed in plants and furnaces operated by the nonferrous metal, iron and steel, glass, construction material, chemical and petrochemical industries as well as in power plants and refuse incinerators. Consequently, refractory engineering is charged with a major task: control the fire and protection of the supporting structure of the furnaces and plants against too high temperatures. 1.
