Ceramic Theory, Why Flue Tiles Break
Room: C201
CEU Type: Technical
Speaker:
Russ Dimmitt - Chimney Safety Institute of America
This session will cover the behavior of vitreous clay flue tiles when subjected to rapid heating versus gradual heating. We will delve into the mechanisms by which vitreous clay flue tiles fail or perform their intended function due to the physics and geometry of the shapes common in flue tiles.
