Brictec Successfully Completes Thermal Shock Resistance Test for Refractory Bricks, Demonstrating Expertise in Brick Plant Construction
With 15 years of experience in complete plant process design and project construction for clay-fired brick production, Brictec has recently completed thermal shock resistance tests for tunnel kiln refractory bricks and kiln car refractory bricks. These tests not only verified the performance of refractory materials under extreme temperature variations but also demonstrated Brictec's professional approach to material selection and quality control in brick plant construction.

Importance of Thermal Stability Testing
In sintered brick production, tunnel kiln refractory bricks and kiln car refractory bricks are directly exposed to high-temperature impacts and frequent thermal cycling. Tunnel kiln bricks must withstand continuous operating temperatures above 1000°C, while kiln car bricks endure severe thermal shocks during the loading/unloading of red brick green bodies. Inadequate thermal stability can lead to cracking and spalling, significantly affecting kiln service life and production safety.

Brictec's Rigorous Testing Protocol
To ensure refractory bricks meet operational requirements, Brictec has established strict "Refractory Brick Thermal Shock Resistance Testing Standards":
Sample Preparation: Specimens cut from production batches according to GB/T 3997.1
Equipment: Program-controlled electric furnace with water quenching system
Procedure:
Heat specimens to 1100°C for 30 minutes
Rapidly quench in 20°C water
Repeat cycles until failure occurs
Evaluation: Strength retention rate after 20 cycles (≥80% qualified)

Quality Assurance for Construction Projects
During testing, Brictec utilized temperature monitoring systems integrated with (clay brick making machines) for accurate data collection. Our engineering team paid special attention to refractory performance in actual (red brick making machine) production lines, using test results to select optimal materials for ongoing projects.
