Together with Parts1 and2 it forms a revision of BS3
8、446:1962, which is withdrawn. Much of the work in preparing BS3446 was conducted under a joint BSI/DTI 1)Consultancy Scheme. BS3446 is published in three Parts: Part1: General and manufacturing (sections1 to6); Part2: Applications in the coke, glass, cement and other non-metallurgical industries (se
9、ctions7 and8); Part3: Applications in the metallurgical industries (section9). Terms are listed alphabetically within each section. Each term has an individual number consisting of five digits in two parts, the first of two digits, the second of three. The first two digits represent the number of th
10、e section and subsection. The third digit represents the number of the sub-subsection (in the case of subsections9.4, 9.5 and9.6, the third digit is0 as these subsections have no divisions into sub-subsections). The last two digits represent the place that the term occupies within the sub-subsection
11、. Alternative terms are given below the preferred term. These terms are not individually numbered, but are included in the index with a reference to the preferred term. Terms of more than one word, e.g.“blast furnace”, are written in a direct style, not as “furnace, blast”. Italicized words indicate
12、 terms that are defined elsewhere in this Part of BS3446. The definitions presented in this Part of BS3446 give the general meaning of terms, and should not be interpreted as being legally binding. NOTEThe title of the publication referred to in this Part of BS3446 is listed on the insidebackcover.

Capacities range from2000t to10000t per day and furnaces are operated continuously over many years before repair. Theraw materials of coke and ferrous materials are elevated and charged into the top of the furnac
17、e. Preheated air blast is blown in near its base, to generate the high temperature and reducing gases required for the complex smelting process to produce liquid iron. The process is continuous and the accumulation of liquid iron is tapped at intervals from the furnace hearth. 91 102 blow down The a

It can be either spray-water cooling of the shellplate, stave cooler segments, or double shell cooling. 91 118 free standing furnace A blast furnace in which all support of top-gear
29、and mechanical loadings is transmitted to four or more columns of sturdy construction: the columns are built adjacent to, but independent of the blast furnace proper, i.e.not incorporating a lintel arrangement. 91 119 gas offtakes Four refractory-lined large diameter angled mains, equally located ar
30、ound the furnace top cone, to collect gas products. 91 120 gas uptake A vertical main, connecting gas offtakes to a common breeches piece and bleeder valve. The system is refractory-lined. 91 121 goose neck A refractory-lined iron or steel casting, used for directional change of the blast at the bas

43、inside the main runner, with limited clearance at the base. It allows rapid separation of liquid iron and slag. 91 140 slag notch An annular insert of copper cooling members. A slag notch is used to drain off slag as required and is located at the top of the hearth level. 91 141 soaking bar A steel
44、rod used in conjunction with the taphole drill. This is inserted into a partially-drilled taphole to transfer heat and to dry out the clay mixture used in sealing the taphole. 91 142 spool tap, turret, both non-preferred A short circular or oval-shaped steel stub piece, internally-lined with refract
45、ory materials and attached to the furnace shellplate at the aperture of the furnace taphole to form an extension of the taphole proper.
