ABSTRACT
Masonry linings consist of three basic items: chemically inert masonry units such as brick, stone, or block; bonding mortar or mortars; and membrane materials. Such linings are used to protect vessels from mechanical damage, (such as blows or abrasion), thermal damage by providing sufficient insulation to reduce thermal exposure to a level the substrate can accept, or to limit the penetration of the chemical corrosive to the substrate to prevent corrosion of the substrate.
