QA/QC supervision of lining systems, including support ring layout, anchor positioning, and verification of longitudinal and circumferential expansion gaps.
Control of nozzle techniques, air pressure, and water-to-material ratio to achieve optimum density and minimize lamination defects.
Supervision of the mixing and placement process, including water temperature, mixing time, and vibration control to minimize air entrapment and segregation in low-cement castables
Verification of module compression rates, anchoring patterns, and vapor barrier installation to prevent Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI).
Verification of layer thickness and pneumatic ramming techniques to achieve optimum compaction and minimize internal voids
API 936 is an industry standard that provides requirements for the installation, inspection, testing, and quality control of refractory linings used in high-temperature industrial equipment
QCI provides refractory inspection, QA/QC, field supervision, material qualification, installation monitoring, testing, maintenance, repair, and technical documentation for industrial refractory systems.
QCI primarily supports Oil & Gas, Refineries, and Petrochemical Plants, while also providing refractory inspection services for Steel, Cement, Lime, Glass Manufacturing, Incinerators, and other high-temperature industrial facilities.
Proper quality control helps maximize refractory service life, improves operational safety, reduces downtime, and ensures compliance with API 936 and ASTM standards.
We inspect and supervise brickwork, gunning, casting, pumping, plastic refractories, ramming materials, and ceramic fiber lining installations in accordance with API 936 / Api 982 requirements
My QA/QC approach includes reviewing project specifications, drawings, ITPs, material qualifications, safety requirements, installation procedures, laboratory testing, installation records, and final acceptance documentation to ensure API 936 compliance
Yes. QCI offers professional refractory inspection, quality assurance, and technical supervision for industrial projects worldwide.
Because an API 936 Certified Inspector helps ensure refractory quality, reduces failure risk, verifies compliance with specifications, and improves equipment reliability and safety.
Steam Reformer Refractory Inspection is critical to ensure the safe operation, reliability and long service life of refractory linings installed in high-temperature reformers. QCI Refractories provides independent API 936 refractory inspection, QA/QC supervision and technical support for new construction, maintenance, revamping, shutdown and turnaround projects worldwide.
As an independent API 936 Certified Refractory Inspector, I verify every phase of the refractory installation process to ensure compliance with project specifications, approved procedures, Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), API 936 requirements and client quality standards.
Review of project specifications, refractory drawings, Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), method statements, approved procedures and quality requirements before installation begins.
Verification of refractory materials, certificates of conformity, storage conditions, shelf life, batch numbers and material traceability.
Inspection of refractory anchors, welding quality, spacing, orientation and compliance with approved drawings before refractory installation.
Inspection and supervision of brick lining, castables, gunning, plastic refractories, ceramic fiber systems, expansion joints and critical installation hold points.
Verification of Inspection Test Plans (ITPs), inspection reports, installation maps, log sheets, material traceability, laboratory testing records and final QA/QC documentation.
Monitoring of approved dry-out schedules, heating rates, hold temperatures and project acceptance criteria before commissioning.
Independent refractory inspection services during planned shutdowns and turnarounds, including refractory assessment, repair verification, installation supervision and final acceptance inspections.
With more than 25 years of international refractory experience, QCI Refractories provides independent API 936 inspection services focused on quality, compliance, safety and long-term reliability of refractory lining systems installed in Steam Reformers and other high-temperature process equipment.
