Dear Elobie F,

We would really need more information about the materials you are using to make the bricks as this determines their suitability. I am trying to get some ISO information regarding the production of refactory bricks that may guide you.

I have seen 'normal' bricks used and then layers of a cement mix built up on the inside to protect the bricks, however this was only for a small pizza oven internal diameter about 0.5m. This was not constructed under any check or calculations and suits purpose for occasional use.

I hope this helps and I will get back to you as soon as I can with any further details.

Best wishes Pauline Redr TSS.

Hi Elobie

I have found this so far, but I don't have the actual documents. The link below only takes you to a website where you can purchase refactory bricks, which I appreciate is not what you are looking for.

The BS/ISO standard appears to be:

BS 1902-3.13:1996, ISO 12678-2:1996. Methods of testing refractory materials. General and textural properties. Measurement of dimensions and external defects of refractory bricks. Corner and edge defects and other surface imperfections

BS 3056- . Sizes of refractory bricks

I hope this helps a bit, but it seems you are not alone from other comments. I feel it is actually a specific and possibly large scale operation to produce them and of course keep turn over going.

Best wishes Pauline RedR TSS/Knowledgepoint
