What does the scope of API 936 provide?

The scope of API 936 specifically focuses on the installation quality control guidelines for monolithic refractory lining. This encompasses the practices necessary to ensure that the monolithic refractory materials are correctly installed and meet the standards set forth for performance and longevity in various industrial settings. API 936 provides detailed protocols and methodologies that ensure high-quality installations, which are essential for the safety and efficiency of any operation utilizing refractories.

While other aspects such as material selection or inspector qualifications are important in the overall management of refractory systems, they fall outside the primary scope of API 936. The standard is primarily geared towards ensuring proper application techniques, quality assessments during installation, and adherence to specified standards that directly influence the effectiveness and durability of monolithic refractories. Thus, the focus remains tightly on installation practices rather than broader aspects of refractory management.
