A procedure has been developed and proposed for taking direct temperature measurements on and at various positions within coke-oven brickwork under actual commercial conditions, with particular reference to the end sections of the heating walls. It has been established that the wall surfaces exposed to fresh charge are drastically cooled over a short period (within 5 min of charging), and that steep temperature gradients are set up in the brickwork. These may obviously be responsible for the rapid failure of oven end sections. Data obtained under commercial conditions can be relied upon for the reliable calculation of temperature distributions in coke-oven brickwork. The proposed procedures for studying temperature distributions should prove useful in analyzing the causes of failure in the end-section brickwork and developing effective countermeasures. Thus, coke-oven brickwork undergoes repeated and serious thermal shocks and the surface temperature gradients become very considerable. This probably explains its premature failure, particularly in the end sections of the walls.
