Abstract:The refractory thickness of the blast furnace hearth is a critical parameter for the safe operation of a blast furnace. A replacement of the refractory comes with high costs and, therefore, unnecessary repairs should be avoided. A promising method to estimate the refractory thickness is the impactecho method. For the interpretation of impact-echo, often, the peaks in the spectrum of the measured signal are associated with the echo from an interface. In this paper, it is shown that this method should be used wi… Show more
