CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
1. General
This procedure is to be used for refractory lining work of the STEAM METHANE REFORMER ( UNIT : 51B010 )
for IRPC UHV Plant Project , RAYONG, THAILAND. The work will be performed at Vatana Phaisal Engineering Co.,Ltd.
At Khao Hin Sorn Factory, Prachinburi , Thailand. By VPE subcontractor.
3. Material storage 1
All material will be stored in warehouse or under shelter on pallets, to be free from moisture, rain, ground water,
and contaminated materials.
All stored materials must be grouped, tagged, for easy access to avoid mistake in use. All incoming
and withdraw must be recorded, traceable and inspection accessibility.
4. Preparation
4.1 Clean surface areas where dusty, mill scaled, rust, oily, wet shall be removed and cleaned to meet
SSPC SP-6 Nace No. 3 Commercial blast cleaning. New metal surfaces that are free of rust, dirt, grease, or oil
are acceptable for most linings covered under this specifications.
4.2 Inspection studs to verify they conform to construction drawing. Installation procedure will follow the
client standard, if not the following will be served as guideline or our practice for installing.
5.4) Refractory anchor shall be welded to the casing by full penetration weld or a fillet weld at 100%
of the circumference.
5.5) Stainless steel anchors shall be welded to casing by type 25Cr-12Ni ( TP-309 ) electrodes.
5.6) The test anchors shall be bent by hammering through approximately 90º and then returned to the
upright position. The anchor should bend without breaking the weld. Subsequently the weld quality to be
tested by striking moderately at random about 10% of welded anchor using a 0.5 Kg ball hammer.
A clear metallic sound shall indicate good welding if faulty welding is found than all anchors to be tested
as described above and faulty welds repaired.
6. Stud welding
1. Mark out stud centers in appropriate patterns as per drawing spot grind to prepare
2. Weld stud as per construction drawing and all anchor shall be bend tested 5% as per AWS.
and 100% visually inspected.
3. Remove all slag from welds before inspection.
Note: Qualify a stud welding procedure per AWS using the same stud gun used on the furnace.
In case the water temperature is higher, ice my be used to cool down the water in storage tank
The temperature of water in storage tank shall be periodically checked. When the shell/metal
temperature exceeds 35°C the exterior of the area to be line shall be cooled by water spray and/or
shading prior to and while the refactory material is being placed.
5. Moisture Protection
Plastic sheet continuously wetted during 24 hours will be used for protecting water to be evaporated after
casting / pouring for the first 24 hrs during curing. Horizental paddle mixers driven by electric motors will be used
for mixing refractory with water prior to transferring to pour. Steel trolley and plastic buckets will be used for transiting
of ready mixed refractory. These are for casting / pouring method.
Noted: Plastic must be sucuring at all end to prevent the plastic from exposing the refractory.
6.7) Castable bags shall be opened one by one for inspection of lump prior to pouring into the mixer.
Any bags showing lump / harden have to be put aside and consult with client's inspector for taking further action.
Any bag of material containing lumps due to water penetration are to be discarded.
6.8) All tools, equipment must be checked for cleanliness prior to using.
6.9) Pouring sufficient amount of castable into the mixer, after that dry mixing the castable in / about 6-10 turns.
6.10) Add water from a calibrated container marked in liter and mililiter into the mixer gradually up to 90% of total
weight of water as specified by maker for the mixing castable weight. Care should be taken for water content.
6.11) Then testing the mixture by tossing the ball on hand method, and add the remaining water and toss-check
until obtaining the required consistency. The wet mixing will not last longer than 4 minutes. (For the ball-in-hand
method, ASTM C860 should be referenced as the standard.) Water content shall be within the range qualified prior
to installation during the applicator procedure qualification tests.
6.12) Well mixed castable will be transferred by plastic buckets for pouring into the required block / area by starting
from one side until covering the whole area fully. Each blocking area must be poured continuously until full.
6.13) Checking with thickness gauge and fills up or scrape out any excess with wooden trowel until full even
thickness is obtained but not to finish the top surface.
6.14) Vibrators can cause separation of the refractory material. If the material is mixed to ball-in-hand per ASTM C860
it will place very well by hand packing and water content will be reasonable.
6.15) Pouring of further blocking areas shall be done in the same way but with skipping of the adjacent blocks
throughout the whole length and then return to the empty skipped blocks by removing out the shuttering prior to pouring.
However, make sure that shuttering can not be removed before the poured castable has been set for 24 hours same as
curing period. Stagger all longitudinal cold joints. Continuous cold joints are not allowed.
8. Curing of Refractory
To prevent the moisture loss during the setting, the castable lining has to be cured as soon as the hydraulic
setting start. The curing has to be done until the castable is completely set.Time elapse minimum 24 hours.
Curing method can be done by moistening the lining with fine water spray for prior of 24 hours or by cover the
surface of the lining with wet cloth and keep it wet for at least 24 hours, or cover the entire surface with plastic sheet.
Unacceptable defects
- Thickness beyond tolerance -0.0 mm, and + 6 mm.
- Patches of material which have not been dispersed enough or have been cast to dry.
- Air pocket that is larger than 6 mm.
- Crack wider than 3 mm. and deeper than 40 mm.
Acceptable defects
- Thickness deviations are within tolerance.
- Print of seams of formwork, provided no leaching has taken place.
- Air pocket that the size is 6 mm or smaller.

11. Precautions
11.1) Under extremely hot weather conditions, the castable shall be placed during the cooler hours of the day
or during the night and the mix shall be stored in a cool shaded place. The surface to be lined shall not be
exposed to the sun or other heat just prior to the application, cooling with a water spray of the outside surface
of the equipment to be lined may be advisable.
11.2) Linings containing water shall be protected against freezing, however, live steam shall not be used.

3.11 Leaving the coating to dry or evaporating out the volatile material for a few days before starting to
install the CF blanket. However due to ambiant temperature does affect to the curing sometime it take 1 day
for such setting, checking for ensuring prior to lining is the best way instead of basing on the numbers of days.
