Refractory bricks or fire bricks are the type of bricks which can withstand high temperatures up to 17000 C.

Characteristics of Fire Bricks:

1. Composition: Silica- 60-96 %, Alumina- 2-36 % and others (lime, magnesia, iron oxide- 2-5 %)

2. Colour- White or Yellowish

3. Weight- 3 Kg each

4. Water absorption value:  4-10 %

5.  Types: 3 Types

(i) Acid Refractories: E.g.  Ordinary Fire Brick, Silica Brick etc.

(ii) Basic Refractories: E.g. Magnetite Bricks, Dolomite Bricks, and Bauxite Bricks.

(iii) Neutral Bricks: E.g. Chromites Bricks, Chrome Magnetite Bricks, Spinal Bricks etc.
