Acid Resistant Bricks
Acid Resistant Bricks or Acid bricks that are specially made and are chemically resistant and thermally durable. Acid brick is created from high silica shale and fired at very high temperatures. Benefits of using Acid Brick include:
1. Allows plastic membranes to operate in high temperature environments;
2. Provide vessel protection from Acids, Alkalis, Oxidizers, Solvents;
3. Provide resistant to Mechanical, Physical Shock;
4. More Economical than other option like Alloys or Glass Lined Vessels;
5. Lining can be shopped or field installed;
6. All necessary heat transfer and stress calculations for any lining combination can be calculated
Acid Resistant Bricks are supplied in two qualities. As per IS: 4860 Class-I & Class-II.
Acid Resistant Class-I Bricks/ Shapes are recommended for serve types of corrosive environments such as Sulphuric Acid Plants, acid storage tanks, pickling tanks, Sulphur Pits etc. They are also used in heavy duty floors, subject to frequent contact with corrosive acids.
Acid Resistant Class-II Bricks/ Shapes are recommended for floors & working areas which are subject to occasional spillage of acids & in contact with dry chemicals, as in Fertilizer silos etc.
