METHOD-1
1 find out the gap between tire id and chair pad OD on uphill and down hill sides in one kiln position at all chair pads
2 if the difference between uphill and down hill reading is more than 02 mm then taper shim is may be required
4 find out normal tyre/shell temp.. Calculate shell expansion as a thumb rule it is 1.2 x (maxm shell temp-tyre side fac
for example- for a kiln of dia 4.35 m and shell temp-250C and tyre temp-140C
4.35*1.2*(250-140)/100
5.75 mm
5 gap required during normal operation is 3 mm(this must be as per manufacturer reccomendation)
METHOD-2
1 measure the creep of the tyre. Calculate the creep per revolution.
for example
if creep per revolution=31 mm
pl. note that the creep value condsidered above is very critical since it
varries with operating temp. and there for it is strongly recommended to
keep creep record of at least one month just before taking up the chances.
shimming job. the av. Minimum creep value is then used for shimming calculation
to avoid shell constriction
