In addition, each melt out liner shall have quantity (3) 3/8-20UNC x 1/2 inch studs welded to the internal wall of the melt out liner spaced 120 degrees apart radially and spaced 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 respectively from the melt line to the furnace floor axially. (1) Existing liner removal: Remove the old furnace liners to, but not including, the split brick (50 ton) or grout (5 ton) on the furnace side-wall and to, but not including the fire clay brick (50) ton or grout (5 ton) on the furnace floor. In removing the existing liners, care should be taken not to damage the brick (50 ton), or coils of the furnaces. Any damage to the brick, grout, or coils will be repaired by the contractor at the contractor's expense. Remove the old plastic spout and the existing leak detector ground wires.

(2) New liner installation: Make any necessary repairs to grout using Allied Mineral Products, Inc. Grout 663A. Apply Minro-Weave Cloth 45-40 slip plane at least 4 inches longer than the length of the unlined furnace, overlapping each successive length by 3 inches with 4 inches overhanging the top of the furnace. Cut the overhang cloth outside the furnace every 6 inches, allowing Minro-Weave to lay against the coil grout. Fold the top of the cloth over the top of the furnace and cover the slits with 2 inch wide duct tape. Install the plastic spout using Minro-A1 Plastic A91. Install a minimum of 6 leak detector ground wires of 310 stainless or better in each furnace. The ground fault wires should extend from the connecting lug in the furnace floor to the top of the furnace floor. Install the furnace floor lining of Minro-Sil Ram 1001, 1.3% boron oxide for the 50 ton furnace and DRI-VIBE 697A for the 5 ton furnace, seating the floor by manual vibration, using a Bosch vibrator model no. 18900 or 18902 wired for 240 volt operation, ensuring proper ground wire positioning while doing so. Install the melt out liner/form in the center of the furnace, and install the sidewall liner to within 24 inches of the top of the furnace using Minro-Sil Ram 1001, 1.3% boron oxide for the 50 ton furnace and to within 15 inches of the top of furnace using DRI-VIBE 697A for the 5 ton furnace, by alternately introducing by funnel and vibrating the form to achieve a measurement of 3200 vibrations/minute, for 10 minutes, at each of the eight legs (50 ton only), using a Vibra-tak for vibration measurement. Install the remaining side wall lining to the top of the furnace using Minro-Sil Ram 1001, 1/8% boron oxide for the 50 ton furnace and DRI-VIBE 481A for the 5 ton furnace, using the same method in paragraph 5.h. (3) Contractor Responsibilities: Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all required security clearances and passes/badges for access into the work site (building 20 NFPC). Contractor shall be familiar with the installation of vibrated linings for coreless induction furnaces. Contractor shall also provide evidence of having installed such linings for at least the past 5 years. The following equipment will be supplied by the contractor: Appropriate tooling, and clean buckets and shovels for removal of existing liners, Bench ramming air hammers for installation of plastic spouts, Bosch Vibrator model number 18900 or 18902 and all necessary ramming tool attachments, Forking and de-airing tool, Melt out liner form, conforming to the drawings submitted with this solicitation, A minimum of 3 K type thermocouples, sufficient in length to connect to a readout device external to the furnace, for each melt out liner being installed. Appropriate funnel for introducing the Minro-Sil to minimize material segregation and dust, Martin Brute Vibrator Model CC4-6-2A, Vibra-Tak, Compressor capable of delivering a minimum steady pressure of 100 psi when supplying the Martin Brute vibrator, All material required to reline both furnaces. Removal and placement of all trash and debris into government supplied and designated disposal containers. Making any and all connections to government supplied utilities. (4) Government Responsibilities: Supplying all utilities with the exception of the compressed air required for ram vibrating. Supplying crane service when required during normal working hours. Supplying a container for the purpose of contractor disposal of all trash and debris resulting from relining.. Sintering the furnace liner.
