Introduction Refractory linings are essential components in various high-temperature refinery equipment. They provide thermal insulation and protect the equipment from extreme conditions.

Petroleum refineries are industrial facilities that process crude oil into more usable products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)& (LNG). Natural gas refineries process raw natural gas to remove impurities and produce pipeline-quality dry natural gas. Both types of

Conversion (high

Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry Brittle fracture Brittle fracture is a type of catastrophic failure in materials, characterized by rapid crack propagation with little or no plastic deformation. This fracture occurs without significant prior deformation and often under relatively low-stress

Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the Refining Industry Explanation of Failure Mechanisms Creep and Stress Rupture At high temperature, metal components can slowly and continuously deform under load below the yield stress. This time dependent deformation of stressed components is known as creep.

FAQs about API 936 What is API 936?API 936 is a standard set by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that provides guidelines for the installation quality control of monolithic refractory linings and materials. It outlines the necessary procedures and criteria for ensuring the proper
