Unit of Competency | PMC554091B - Analyse refractory failures |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers analysing a refractory failure to determine failure mode. It involves understanding failure modes, differentiating different modes and understanding forensic procedures. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Refractories may fail due to a number of reasons, and these may be mechanical (wear, impact) or thermal (thermal stresses, flame impingement) or due to other reasons. The analysis of failures is important so that replacement refractories can be better designed to reduce this failure and extend the time between failure/ replacement. This unit covers all common types of refractory failures. The failure needs to be recognised and distinguished from other possible causes. Possible causes for the failure also need to be identified particularly if failure is unexpected/refractory life is shorter than expectedThis unit would typically be undertaken by a technician working either alone or in liaison with another refractory expert. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
