Indian Standard GUIDE FOR

CONSTRUCTION OF BRICK KILN

( First Revision )

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 3 April 1978, after the draft finalized by the Clay Products for Building Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

0.2 Different types of kilns are being used for burning bricks. These kilns vary considerably in design, capacity and output. It is not infre- quent to find two kilns of identical design located at the same place and yet producing bricks varying widely in quality. It has been found desirable that some degree of uniformity should be introduced in the design of kilns, so as to ensure the production of good quality bricks with the minimum consumption of coal. At present the design of kiln and its method of operation are largely governed by the rule of thumb. How- ever, surveys carried out by the Central Building Research Institute and also information gathered from manufacturers from various parts of the country, indicate that a broad outline can be furnished as a general guidance for their better performance.

0.3 This standard was first published in 1968. This revision has been prepared based on experience gained in the working of this kiln for the past 10 years. Provisions relating to chimney have been modified and details of chimney and attachments have been included.

0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that ofthe specified value in this standard.

l Rulw for rounding off numerical values ( rcoiscd ).

IS : 4805 - 1978

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard gives the broad guidelines required for the construction of top fed coal fired continuous brick kilns worked on natural draught.

2. NECESSARY INFORMATION

2.1 For efficient design and construction of the brick kilns, detailed information with regard to the following may be furnished to those responsible for the wcr-k:

a) Level of sub-soil water at the place where the brick kiln is required to be constructed;

b) Slope of the ground and natural drainage; c) Type of soil with special reference to black cotton soil; d) Climatic conditions; and e) Vicinity to inhabited area, communication, etc.

3. SITE

3.1 The kiln should preferably be constructed on a high ground, the level of which should be such‘ that rain-water naturally drains away from the kiln and does not flow towards it.

3.2 The floor level of the trenches of the brick kiln should be such that it is not less than 3 m above the water table of sub-soil water measured during rainy season. In any case floor level should not be more than 1 m below the ground level.

4. CONSTRUCTION

4.1 The size of the kiln depends upon capacity. Two limits for the sizes are suggested in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Depending upon the requirements and other local factors, there may be sizes between these two limits also. The shape of the kiln is given in Fig. 1.

4.1.1 Large Capacity Brick Kiln - It should consist of30 chambers, each of 5.0 m in length and width of the trench should be 9.0 m. The capacity of chamber may be 28 000 standard bricks ( see Fig. 1 ) ,

4.1.2 Small CapacifV Brick Kiln-It should consist of 30 chambers each of 5.0 m in length and width of the trench should be 4.50 m. of the chamber may be 14000 standard bricks.

The capacity

4.2 The height of the trenches in both the cases should be 2.25 m.

4.3. The side walls of the kiln should be provided with flues over which chimney would be placed. Each chamber should Abe provided with two flues, one on the inner and the other on the outer wall. For the small capacity kiln only one flue on the outer wall need be provided for each chamber.

4.4 Adequate number of wickets should also be provided for easy access into different parts ~of the trenches.

4.5 The floor of the trenches should be paved with burnt bricks on edge.

4.6 The thickness of the side walls should be 60 cm and should be constructed of ordinary burnt bricks.

NOTE: -The un-burnt bricks may also be used, but for better efficiency and less expenditure on maintenance the use of burnt brick is recommended.

4.7 The side walls should be plastered with mud-mortar.

NoTE - For batter insulation the aide walls may be constructed with a cavity of 2 5 cm. The cavity maybt loosely filled with fine ash.

4.8 The construction of the flues should be as shown in Fig. 2. The size of the flues should be 1.20 x 0.90 m.

4.9 The distance between the flues should be 5.0 m centre-to-centre.

4.10 The shape of the chimney and its attachments should be as shown in Fig. 3. Two chimneys will be required.
