Excerpt from Materials of Chemical Plant Construction Non-Metals

In the chemical works bricks and tiles may be used for ordinary constructional purposes, and also for work in which resistance to corrosion is important. A very important class of bricks Firebricks - will be considered in the chapter on Refractories.

Excerpt from Materials of Chemical Plant Construction Non-Metals

In the application of constructional materials to chemical plant, not only must mechanical properties and the usual influences, such as atmospheric action, weathering and rusting, be taken into account, but also the effects of wide ranges of physical conditions and corrosive action have to be considered. It is a commonplace that in many chemical plants the costs of repairs and replacements may be a very serious proportion of manufacturing charges. Nevertheless in many works one finds that there is an extraordinary state of indefiniteness in respect of knowledge of materials of construction, and frequently breakdowns result which cause serious losses of production, time, and consequently of profits. In such works very frequently the designing engineer has but little knowledge of chemistry, and relies on the chemist for information as to how the various materials will "stand up" under the special influences to which they will be subjected. If it should happen that the chemist is without plant experience, the results are disastrous. A chemist from the laboratory with experience of the behaviour of materials in vitro is by no means a sure guide, and the behaviour of some materials on the large scale is liable to surprise him.
