Regarding SRU WHB failure mechanisms, some of them can occur around ferrule deformed due low content of Al2O3. I’ve heard that ferrule with 94%+ of Al2O3 for SRU WHB it’s ok. Is it correct for a chamber that works at 1800-2400°F? Or the ferrule must contain 98%+ of Al2O3? What’s the minimum content of Al2O3 recommended for the SRU’s ferrule?

It is many years since I worked on units like these. I seem to remember that we specified very high silica refractory (98%+) rather than alumina. Cant be sure. Maybe one of the other guys with recent experience can help.
