This report is the second in a series of three American Petroleum Institute (API) reports covering the use of refractory concrete (castables), plastics, and ramming mixes for applications for the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI). Its content is complimented by the two other reports in this series: • API TR 978, Monolithic Refractories: Manufacture, Properties and Selection • API TR 980, Monolithic Refractories: Installation and Dryout These API technical reports update and add to the original reports written by Committee 547 of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) in 1979 and 1989. The ACI reports are ACI 547.R-79, State-of-the Art Report: Refractory Concrete and ACI 547.1R-89, State-of-the Art Report: Refractory Plastics and Ramming Mixes. TR 979 focuses specifically on the information on the applications of refractories contained in two American Concrete Institute (ACI) refractories documents: • ACI 547.R-79, State-of-the Art Report: Refractory Concrete and • ACI 547.1R-89,
