Orifice Rings
Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance, Accurate Shapes Material Specifications
The complex and precise shape of orifice rings places special demands on the refractory material. In service, orifice rings must be able to deliver good thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance to preserve their accurate shape.

Emhart Glass’ 311 material contains 91% Al2O3, a high purity material, specifically designed for the fabrication of complex shapes. Its close grained structure provides the necessary corrosion resistance to complement its thermal shock resistance. It has proven an excellent choice for shops with frequent job changes. In applications where extended orifice ring life is desired, Emhart Glass 314 and 315, bonded AZS materials containing 20% Zirconia, provide excellent performance.
