Extract

The contour and dimensions of a typical blast furnace are shown in fig. 1. The shell of the furnace consists of riveted steel plates, inside which is a lining of firebricks varying in thickness about 2–3½ feet. Molten iron collects in the crucible or hearth at the bottom of the furnace and is periodically run off through a hole in the side of the furnace known as the tap-hole. The hearth is lined with firebrick both around the sides and along the floor, the total thickness of brickwork below the hearth in fig. 1 being 3 feet 9 inches.
