High-temperature processes – such as those required to manufacture metal products – are very difficult to monitor, model and control.

CAST-X HT high-temperature heaters operate up to 1110°F (600°C). Process gases such as nitrogen, argon, CO and CO2 are suited for this heater, but flammable liquids and gases can also be safely heated – even at significant flow rates and pressures.

When it comes to lining fired heaters in the petrochemical industry, refractory ceramic fiber has been the go-to material. However, it has its drawbacks. Consider an alternative material and learn how it can mitigate refractory ceramic fiber’s limitations.

Many stakeholders involved in heat treating try to find answers as to why their products are discharged 100-300°F below the furnace setpoint temperature. We shall only consider continuous annealing furnaces used in metal heating for the purposes of this article.
