Inspection and quality control for design and installation of new, patch repair or replacement lining systems are covered in separate API documents, including:

• • API Standard 936, Refractory Installation Quality Control—Inspection and Testing Monolithic Refractory Linings and Materials
• • API Standard 975, Refractory Installation Quality Control—Inspection and Testing of Refractory Brick Systems and Materials
• • API Standard 976, Refractory Installation Quality Control—Inspection and Testing of Fiber Linings and Material

Proper inspection and assessment of the refractory linings is essential to maintain equipment reliability, operating efficiency, personnel safety, and operational process safety.  See more
