A highly interactive training course on
Refractories: Applications, Inspection and Maintenance
Training course overview
There is a continuous need for technical professionals dealing with refractories, to be well informed about new materials with their technical characteristics as well as new installation techniques, in order to optimize reliability and efficiency of high-temperature industrial process. Focus here is obviously on general maintenance management as well as on minimization of unscheduled downtime of production units caused by premature material failure.
This popular Coventry Academy training course will provide practical aspects of refractory evaluation, selection, installation, maintenance and repair techniques in a number of industrial applications. The training course will include several workshops with real-world case studies, as well as practical examples that will involve team work of all participants.
What are the goals?
This Coventry Academy training course enables attendees to:
- Select Refractories with Most Appropriate Thermal and Mechanical Characteristics
- Apply Methods of Testing Refractories
- Perform Efficient Installation of Refractories for Various Applications
- Analyze Root Cause of Failures Encountered in Operation
- Follow the Guidelines for Inspection, Maintenance and Repair of Refractories
