For industries where refractory lining integrity is mission-critical and non-negotiable, particularly in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors, adherence to API Recommended Practice 936 is the gold standard. Our API 936 Services provide specialized expertise to ensure that your refractory installations meet these stringent quality control requirements. From meticulous pre-qualification to comprehensive installation and dry-out oversight, we deploy API 936 certified professionals to minimize risks, prevent costly failures, and ensure the long-term reliability and safety of your critical refractory assets. We are your dedicated partner in achieving and maintaining full API 936 compliance.
We provide highly qualified and API 936 certified refractory inspectors who oversee every phase of your refractory project. Our inspectors ensure that all materials, equipment, and installation procedures conform precisely to API 936 guidelines, client specifications, and industry best practices. This on-site presence and expertise are crucial for proactive quality control and problem resolution during critical installation periods.
This service focuses on meticulous verification that all refractory materials meet specified quality criteria and that installation methods adhere strictly to API 936. We conduct detailed checks on material certifications, batch traceability, mixing procedures, anchor installation, lining dimensions, and curing conditions. Our objective is to confirm that the installed refractory system performs as designed and meets the rigorous demands of your operational environment.
A robust Quality Control Plan (QCP) is central to API 936 compliance. We assist clients in developing, reviewing, and optimizing comprehensive QCPs specifically tailored for refractory installations. Our service ensures that your QCP addresses all critical aspects of API 936, including personnel qualifications, material handling, installation procedures, and inspection points, providing a clear roadmap for quality execution.
The dry-out and curing phase is a critical step for refractory integrity, often a source of defects if not managed properly. Our API 936 certified inspectors provide expert oversight of the dry-out process, ensuring strict adherence to specified temperature ramp rates, hold times, and overall schedule. We verify that proper drying and curing methods are applied, which is essential for developing the refractory’s full mechanical properties and achieving optimal long-term performance.
