Brick dimensions (shapes)

The refractory bricks are produced in

the great many shapes required for the
correct lining of each plant in which
they are to be installed.

SANAC is able to produce both

the shapes envisaged by the main
international standardization rules and
the special shapes for specific uses.

The Design Service is at the Customer’s

disposal to provide him with the most
profitable solutions.

Dimensional Tolerances

The dimensional tolerances of bricks

generally conform with the PRE/R23
Recommendation (“Dimensional
tolerances of dense and insulating
refractory products”).

Particular tolerances, if any, should be

indicated at the time of the en-quiry

Quality

The qualitative standard of a

refractory material has reached such
a determinant influence level as to
condition the operational results.
It is therefore evident the absolute
necessity to carry into effect a severe
policy of quality in manufacturing.

This policy is imposed by the ever-

increasing stresses to which the
material is subjected during the
operation as well as by the level of
high specialization and differentiation
reached by refractory products.

In the manufacturing process,

therefore all those measures are
adopted which are necessary to attain
the right quality level and to keep it
constant, namely:
- precise processing instructions for
each phase of the production process
and detailed quality manuals from the
raw material control up to the finished
products;
- provision of a structure able to
produce according to the criteria of the
“Quality Assurance”.

All our works, as well as all our

laboratories, are conform to Assurance
Quality System in accordance with
UNI EN ISO 9001, certified by DNV as
shown at side.

Iron trough

With increases in blast furnace

capacity, top pressure, tapping speed
and volume the service conditions of
blast furnace iron troughs have become
more severe.

Accordingly higher grades of

refractories are used not only in the
main runner (fixed or mobile) but also in
the slag and pig iron runners.

Our company, which has long

experience in the rammed lining, is
producing and marketing lining for
installation by vibration forming or
casting.
