Hi everyone,
I have looked in the archives, done a Google search, and looked at the
references I have at hand. But I still can't identify the hard bricks
listed below. Can anyone please provide more info? What duty are they rated
for? PCE? Percent Alumina and Silica? Any technical data on strength?
Suggested use? I have drawn a blank on them. I'm interested in using them
for some part of a Bourry Box wood kiln that we will be salting.
These bricks are in the state of Oregon in the US, so I assume they had
their origins somewhere in the US, maybe in Oregon, probably near the West
Coast of the US.
1. AP Green Idaho straights - yes, I know these are everywhere (at least
around here), but they are not mentioned on the Harbison-Walker website (do
they not make them anymore?) and I can find no technical data on them (I
don't have an old AP Green catalog). They seem less dense than Empires.
2. DFC No. 1 Arch
3. LACO M-180 (or 190 - number hard to read). Brick has a keyhole cut into
one edge and a channel and groove in middle, parallel to side with keyhole.
Dimensions about 9.5 in X 9.5 in x 3 in.
Thanks for any help. And thanks for this list - I've been lurking off and
on for several years and have really learned a lot from all the discussions.
