Full title and description

SN RK 5.02-01-2014 — Industrial furnaces and chimneys. National construction norm of the Republic of Kazakhstan establishing requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation and inspection of industrial furnaces, flues and chimneys used in industrial facilities.

Abstract

This document sets out functional and technical requirements for industrial furnaces and chimneys, covering terminology, purpose, material and structural requirements, fire- and thermal-safety provisions, basic rules for refractory linings and insulation, provisions for foundations and supports, and requirements for access, inspection and maintenance to ensure safe, durable and serviceable operation of furnace and chimney installations within industrial buildings and sites.

Scope

Applies to the design, construction, reconstruction, installation, commissioning, inspection and safe operation of industrial furnaces and chimneys (including their refractory linings, insulation, supports, access arrangements and associated foundations) used at industrial and process facilities. The document provides normative requirements and references to normative materials and guidance necessary to ensure structural integrity, thermal performance and safety during service life.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions, terms and classification of furnace and chimney types.
• Functional and performance requirements: thermal loads, operational temperatures and lifetime expectations.
• Structural design rules addressing thermal stresses, wind, seismic and self-weight effects on chimneys and furnace structures.
• Materials and refractory lining requirements, selection criteria and testing considerations.
• Foundations, supports and connections between furnace, chimney and building structures.
• Access, inspection, maintenance and safety provisions (platforms, ladders, manholes, monitoring points).
• Acceptance testing, commissioning and documentation required for handover and operation.

Typical use and users

Used by structural and process engineers, furnace designers, plant architects, construction contractors, inspection authorities, regulatory bodies and facility operators involved in the design, construction, commissioning, inspection and maintenance of industrial furnaces and chimneys at metallurgical, chemical, cement, power and other process plants.

Related standards

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers terminology, functional requirements, structural and material provisions (including refractory linings), foundations and supports, safety/access, inspection and commissioning requirements for industrial furnaces and chimneys used in industrial facilities.

Q: Who typically uses it?
