Refractory Dry-Out Services

Refractory Dry-Out is a vital, controlled heating process carried out after installing new refractory linings in furnaces, boilers, heaters, kilns, and incinerators. The primary goal is to safely remove absorbed moisture, prevent explosive spalling, and ensure the refractory material reaches its designed mechanical strength and long-term thermal stability.

At Hexigon Engineering, our Dry-Out programs use carefully engineered temperature-ramp cycles executed through gas/oil-fired burners, electrical heating systems, or automated heating consoles. This controlled approach prevents premature cracking, improves refractory durability, and ensures the equipment is fully conditioned for safe, continuous high-temperature operation.

Codes and Standards Followed

Our Refractory Dry-Out procedures are designed in accordance with globally accepted safety, quality, and refractory-installation standards, including:

  • API 936 – Refractory Installation Quality Control Guidelines

  • ASTM C113 – Standard Practice for Refractory Dry-Out

  • ASTM C71 – Standard Terminology of Refractories

  • OEM-Specific Furnace/Heater Refractory Dry-Out Schedules

  • Customer-based heat-up specifications & QA documentation

Advantages of Refractory Dry-Out Services

  • Prevents Premature Refractory Failure
    Controlled heating eliminates trapped moisture, avoiding explosive spalling and extending refractory life.
  • Ensures Safe High-Temperature Operation
    Proper Dry-Out conditions the lining so equipment can withstand full operational temperatures without cracking.
  • Accurate, Controlled Temperature Ramping
    Automated consoles and calibrated burners maintain precise heating rates as per OEM and industry guidelines.
